Operationalisation of Variables
Operationalisation
Real World
Researchers studying anxiety don't just say 'we measured stress' — they operationalise it as 'score on the GAD-7 questionnaire', as used in NHS mental health screenings, so every clinician measures the same thing.
Exam Focus
If asked to operationalise a variable, give a specific, measurable definition — avoid vague terms like 'level of aggression'.
