1. What kind of measure would you use for each variable? Why? Note: Describe the type of measure you would use (survey, instrument, observation, etc.), not how you would collect the data.
2. What scale of measurement would you use? Why?
3. Discuss the reliability and validity of your measures.
- How would you test for reliability, i.e., what type of reliability testing would you use to show that your measures are reliable? Explain why.
- How would you test for validity, i.e., what type of validity testing would you use to show that your measures are valid? Explain why.
