BUS 300 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Operationalization, Face Validity, Convergent Validity
Document Summary
The process of describing some property of a phenomenon, usually by assigning numbers in a reliable and valid way. A generalize idea about a class of objects, attributes, occurrences, or processes. The process of identifying scales that correspond to variance in a concept involved in a research process. A device providing a range of values that correspond to different characteristics or amounts of a characteristic exhibited in observing a concept. Indicate the way that a certain value on a scale corresponds to some true value of a concept. Assigns a value to a object for identification or classification purposes. Ranking scales allowing things to be arranged based on how much of some concept they possible. Capture information about differences in quantities of a concept. Have all the properties of interval scales with the additional attribute of representing absolute quantities. Measures that can take on only one of a finite number of values.
