This document discusses measurement and the measurement process. It defines measurement as quantifying empirical events and objects using a set of mapping rules. The key aspects of measurement are: 1) Identifying concepts and variables to be measured related to the research problem. This includes both tangible and intangible concepts. 2) Developing operational definitions that specify how to measure concepts using observable events. 3) Creating rules of measurement that classify, order, and establish distances between measurements using a scale with an origin point. 4) Applying the measurement rules and scale to translate observations into standardized values. Good measurement is reliable, valid, sensitive, and practical.
