HSB Measurable Variables Discussion

 

the discussion question :

It is harder than it looks to take abstract concepts and turn them into measurable variables. How we conceptualize and operationalize concepts affects how we measure and analyze them. It also affects whether we can compare results with other studies. This discussion will challenge you to engage in conceptualization, operationalization, and evaluating measurements in a survey. You will need to post before you can see your peers’ contributions. For your prompt POST (click the reply button below), pretend that you are constructing a well-written online survey on a sociological topic that interests you. Create five questions related to your topic and five demographic questions. Be sure to include a descriptive, but short title for your survey so that your peers know the focus of your study and instructions on how to complete the survey. See the video below for some tips on writing good questions! The answer :
