In business research we often will need to create measurement instruments for the variable(s) we want to understand. ;Remember in Week 1 we start our research design process by trying to create a useful definition of a concept or variable we might study. ;Once we have a workable “operational definition” of all our variables we are ready to create the measurement system we will use.

(A) Please discuss the advantages and disadvantages with the following:

Rating and ranking scales

Likert scales

Unidimensional and multidimensional scales

(B) Consider the way you operationalized the variable “binge drinking” in Week 1. ;Now, using one or more of the scales noted in (1) above, create two questions you might use in a study about binge drinking. ;Make sure you include the answer scale you would want the participant to use as well.
