PSYB04H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Theoretical Definition, Operationalization, Neutral Nation
Document Summary
Ways to measure variables three common types of measures: self-report, observational, and physiological: they also decide on the most appropriate scale of measurement for each variable they plan to investigate. More about conceptual and operational variables: any variable can be expressed in two ways: as a conceptual variable (also called a conceptual definition or construct) and as an operational definition (an operational variable) question at a theoretical level. In most ways my life is close to ideal. So far i have gotten the important things i want in life. Imagine a ladder with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. Three common types of measures: the types of measures psychological scientists typically use to operationalize variables generally.
