LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Define and provide examples for each of the four levels of measurement.
- Define the terms index and typology, and discuss an example of each.
You should now have some idea about how conceptualization and operationalization work, and you also know a bit about how to assess the quality of your measures. But measurement is sometimes a complex process, and some concepts are more complex than others. Measuring a person’s political party affiliation, for example, is less complex than measuring her or his sense of alienation. In this section we’ll consider some of these complexities in measurement. First, we’ll take a look at the various levels of measurement that exist, and then we’ll consider a couple of strategies for capturing the complexities of the concepts we wish to measure.
