1). Imagine that you were designing a study. You have a solid plan to draw your sample (using probability methods, of course) and gigantic grant to fund the whole project. What are the key variables that you intend to study? More specifically, what is the primary independent variable, and the primary dependent variable, and what the key control variables do you need to measure and include? In answering the question, you should walk me through the important stages of measurement ranging from conceptualization to operationalization of variables. Additionally, iIFinally, how will you know if your measures are reliable and valid? How will you test that empirically?
