Name: Lecture Activity 03.01 Operationalizing Conceptual Variables For each construct, provide a conceptual definition and a way to operationalize this construct. Feel free to specify a context of your choice (e.g., aggression shown by children in a preschool, or aggression shown while driving), as it may help you with your definitions and operationalizations. Remember that we may operationalize variables in different ways, such as surveys, interviews, observations, physiological measures, and psychological tests. Construct Physical Aggression (Example) Conceptual Definition What does it mean? Give a definition, including various "parts" of this construct, if applicable Physical acts of harm towards a person, animal, or object. For example, hitting, kicking, pushing, and throwing. Operational Definition How will you measure it? Describe a survey, interview, observational procedure, psychological text, or physiological test Context: Children in a preschool The number of times a preschool child commits an act of harm towards another person, animal or object within a 30-minute observation by a research assistant, who keeps tally on a form.
