The measurement of numbers or other symbols to characteristics (or attributes) of objects according to a prespecified set of rules.

Research
Reliability
Validity
A scale that categorizes individuals or objects into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive groups, and offers basic, categorical information on the variable of interest.

Nominal scale
Research conducted in the natural environment where activities take place in the normal manner.
Contrived setting
Noncontrived setting

Unconcealing setting
The researcher is never directly involved in the actions of the actors, but observes them from outside the actors' visual horizon, for instance via a one-way mirror or a camera.
Participant observation
Nonparticipant observation
Concealed observation
Unconcealed observation
A scale with bipolar attributes with five points or seven points indicated on the scale.
Semantic scale
Itemized rating scale
Numerical scale
Likert scale
Interpretation of the results on the basis of the results of data analysis, as opposed to subjective or emotional interpretations.

Reliability
Validity
The planned watching, recording, analysis, and interpretation of behavior, actions, or events.

Anthropology
Philosophy
Otonlogy
None of the above
Reduction of abstract concepts to render them measurable in a tangible way.
Construct Validity
Criterion-related validity
Predictive validity
Operationalizing
A scale that not only categorizes the qualitative differences in the variable of interest, but also allows for the rank-ordering of these categories in a meaningful way.
Ratio scale
Interval scale
Ordinal scale
Nominal scale
Respondents choose between two objects at a time, with the process repeated with a small number of objects.
Comparative sampling
Paired comparative sampling
Numerical sampling
Semantic sampling
Efficient explanation of the variance in the dependent variable of interest through the use of smaller, rather than a larger number of independent variables.
Parsimony
Purposiveness
Rigor
Consistency & Confidence
The researcher gathers data by participating in the daily life of the group or organization under study.
Participant observation
Nonparticipant observation
Pure observation
None of the above
The degree of closeness of the estimated sample characteristics to the population parameters, determined by the extent of the variability of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
Confidence
Purposiveness
Rigor
Precision
The ability of the measure to differentiate among individuals as to criterion predicted for the future.
Content validity
Predictive validity
Construct validity
Criterion-related validity
Data collected first-hand for subsequent analysis to find solutions to the problem researched.
Primary data
Secondary data
Tertiary data
Research data
The sampling design in which the elements of the population have some known chance or probability of being selected as sample subjects.

A definition of the difference between the actual and desired situation.
Problem statement
Problem research
Problem definition
Problem finding
Includes both a statement research objective and the research question.
Problem statement
Problem research
Problem definition
Problem finding
A probability sampling design in which the number of sample subjects drawn from each stratum is proportionate to the total number of elements in the respective strata.
Cluster sampling
Proportionate stratified sampling
Area sampling
Quota sampling
Seeks to remove the researcher from the observed actions and behavior; the researcher is never directly involved in the actions and behavior of the group under study.
Pure observation
Pure participation
Pure analysis
Pure research
The researcher becomes so involved with the group under study that eventually every objectivity and research interest is lost.
Pure observation
Pure participation
Pure analysis
Pure research
The situation in which research is focused on solving a well-identified and defined problem, rather than aimlessly looking for answers to vague questions.
Rigor
Parsimony
Purposiveness
Confidence
Data that are not immediately quantifiable unless they are coded and categorized in some way.
Quantitative data
Qualitative data
Numerical data

Scale used to tap preferences between two or among more objects or items.
Ranking scale
Rating scale
Nominal scale
Ordinal scale
Scale with several response categories that evaluate an object on a scale.
Ranking scale
Rating scale
Nominal scale
Interval scale
A scale that has an absolute zero origin, and hence indicates not only the magnitude, but also the proportion, of the differences.
Ratio scale
Interval scale
Ordinal scale
Nominal scale
Each item (all) is assumed to share a common basis (the underlying construct of research).
