DESCRIPTION:This 6-hour course will be held online only. Attendance is requ
 ired as it will not be recorded.\n\nThis course is the first is a two-part 
 scale development course series that introduces students to the systematic 
 process of developing multi-item scale measures and survey instruments. Exa
 mples include measures of various social and psychological variables that m
 ight be assessed in health\, medicine\, journalism\, or other related resea
 rch areas. After a brief theoretical introduction to topics such as definin
 g a construct and types of validity\, we will turn to applied issues such a
 s what is the optimal scale development process and how (and when) can you 
 deviate from that process. We will also address practical issues around que
 stionnaire design such as how to construct a “good” survey instrument that 
 has a natural flow\, minimizes participant burden\, has appropriate respons
 e options and other common concerns in scale development and design. We wil
 l focus on real-life examples to demonstrate the scale development process.
  Although we will briefly discuss the kinds of quantitative techniques that
  are commonly used in the scale development process\, this course will not 
 cover the application of these methods. Quantitative methods for scale deve
 lopment will be covered in Part 2 of this course series (separate registrat
 ion is required).\n\nThis course will count as 6.0 CSS short course hours.
