DEFINITION (1): The transformation of an abstract theoretical concept, into something concrete, observable and measurable in an empirical research project. Operational definitions are pragmatic and realistic indicators of more diffuse notions (Scott, Marshall, 2005).
DEFINITION WRITER: Kallas Ioannis
DEFINITION COMMENTS: For example, one... way of operationalizing the concept of social class might be to ask people what type of job they do, and code their replies as either ‘working class’ or ‘middle class’. An alternative operationalization would be to ask the respondents to which class they felt thy belonged. As will be seen from this example, operational definitions are crucial to the process of measurement and are often the most controversial aspect of the research design.
