Imagine you are working as a research assistant and have been asked to develop a measurement construct to solve a problem or collect data.
Choose a construct you would like to measure (depression, anxiety, job satisfaction, tendency toward recidivism, knowledge of History, etc.).
Create an operational definition of the construct using at least 3 peer-reviewed journal articles as references.
Create a minimum 10-question test to measure the construct.
Write an analysis in which you:
Describe and define your construct with an operational definition including peer-reviewed references.
Justify whether this is an interview or self-report instrument and the method of scaling you used to create the test items.
Describe the methods you used for item selection and how item selection was evaluated.
Describe how you would norm this instrument. For your description, you should:

Discuss how many people you would give it to.

Describe the characteristics that your respondents would have (gender, age, SES, etc.).

Explain to whom the instrument would be generalized.

Describe how you would establish reliability (and which type of reliability test you would use).

Describe how you would establish validity.  (and which type of validity test you would use).
