    Study Notes

    Theoretical Constructs and Measures

    • A theoretical construct is an abstract concept or idea that cannot be directly observed or measured.
    • It is a logical connection between a measure and a theoretical construct that is referred to as operationalization.
    • In a data set, variables represent attributes or characteristics of the individuals or cases being studied.
    • Operationalization refers to the logical connection between a measure and a theoretical construct.
    • In the context of research, a variable is a characteristic or attribute that can take on different values or outcomes.
    • A measure, in the context of research, is a specific method or tool used to quantify or capture a variable.
