Operationalization

 As researchers we often want to explore concepts, such as victimization. What makes research more complex is that we need to define what victimization is, as well as describe how we are going to measure the concept, or what we call operationalization. This is necessary because it may differ between researchers. Both conceptualization and operationalization are needed for quality studies. This DBR you will be able to practice both. You are to: 1. Conceptualize income. 2. Operationalize income. You do not have to respond to another classmate, but are welcome to.
