Levels of Measurement

Levels of Measurement: what you can and can’t do arithmetically

UsableStats: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio

 

example of answer……..

 

Before a statistical analysis can be conducted, the dependent variable has to be measured. Exactly how the measurement is carried out depends on the type of variable involved in the analysis. Although procedures for measurement differ in many ways, they can be classified using categories are called “scales,”

Nominal scale- these scales are used to name or categorize responses (eg.) gender, handedness, favorite color, and religion. Nominal scales do not imply any ordering among the responses so when classifying people according to their favorite color, there is no sense in which green is placed “ahead of” blue. Responses are merely categorized. Nominal scales embody the lowest level of measurement. Osherson, D. & Lane, D. (2011).

Ordinal scale- Unlike nominal scales, ordinal scales allow comparisons of the degree to which two subjects possess the dependent variable, (eg.) the satisfaction of the purchase of a refrigerator ordering makes it meaningful to assert that one person is more satisfied than another with their refrigerator. The differences between adjacent scale values do not necessarily represent equal intervals on the underlying scale giving rise to the measurements. Osherson, D. & Lane, D. (2011).

Interval scale- interval scales are numerical scales in which intervals have the same interpretation throughout. (eg) the difference between 30 degrees and 40 degrees represents the same temperature difference as the difference between 80 degrees and 90 degrees. Osherson, D. & Lane, D. (2011).

Ratio scale- The ratio scale of measurement is the most informative scale. It is an interval scale with the additional property that its zero position indicates the absence of the quantity being measured. Osherson, D. & Lane, D. (2011).

Week 3

discussion 1

Imagine you are considering the possibility of operating a small business or practice related to health care, either as a provider of some sort of care or as a service intended to support various provider organizations in their care-delivery activities.

  1. Describe the kind of entity you plan to establish by stating the service or services you propose to deliver and the kinds of clients or customers you would be serving.  
  2. Write a few sentences offering compelling reasons for your proposed venture, explaining why you believe it is needed and by whom it is needed.  Also discuss any competition you foresee.  
  3. Develop an estimate of how much money you will require to become established in business, and state how you would finance your venture. Also discuss your plans for maintaining your budget.
  4. Create a mission or vision statement for your organization.

discussion 2

Select either Option A or Option B to respond to and indicate within your post which option you chose.

Option A: Identify what you believe are the top three challenges in setting up a hospital-based committee from a managerial perspective.  In a 250- to 300-word post, discuss your rationale and address the following questions:

  1. Why are committees advantageous for health care organizations?
  2. What are some of the steps that you as a manager, could take to overcome these challenges?
  3. How would you address conflict and/or divisiveness within the committee or team?


Option B : Committees have been determined as a necessary component to health care organizations.  As a manager, you have been tasked to set up a committee with one of the hospital departments.  In doing so, consider the following questions:  

  1. How much influence should the committee have in the overall management structure?
  2. How would you maintain authority without adopting an autocratic leadership style?
  3. How would you set up an employee team without violating union and labors laws?


Guided Response for Option A and Option B : Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree with their analyses?  Would you suggest any changes to the management styles they discussed?  Consider a situation from your own life where you were part of an ineffective team, what specific issues did you face?  Would their suggestions have worked in that situation?

Anne Kolsky    4 posts   Re: Topic 8 DQ 1  Dependent and Independent Variables Defined:   A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it “depends” on the independent variable. In a scientific experiment, you cannot have a dependent variable without an independent variable (Helmenstine, 2018).   The PICOT question for the capstone project is, “Do preschool aged children (P) who are given early childhood screenings (I) compared to children who are not screened (C) score higher in assessments related to kindergarten readiness (O) upon entry to kindergarten (T)?” The independent variable is the early childhood screening and the dependent variable is the scores of the kindergarten readiness assessments.   The independent variable for the capstone study is the variable that can be controlled by the person conducting the research. In this case, the early childhood screens are the independent variable because the researcher can either conduct screenings or can do study reviews to determine which subjects have completed screenings. The dependent variable is the scores of all the children entering kindergarten that have been assessessed for kindergarten readiness using a standardized assessment tool. The scores between those who have been screened and those who have not been screened can be analyzed using a statistical comparative analysis to determine the difference by comparing the scores between the two samples. A two-sample t test comparison between the means should be sufficient to compare (CliffsNotes, 2016).  CliffsNotes. (2016). Two sample t test for comparing two means.

Implications of Early Attachment for Later Relationship Quality

Research in developmental psychology suggests that there is a vivid and conspicuous relationship between early attachment and later relationships. The majority agree that attachment massively affects the quality of future relationships. Nonetheless, there are some, which protests that attachment is not unanimously predictive of later relationship quality. 

Practically, infant-caregiver attachment affects later adult-sibling relationships both positively and negatively.  For a case in point, in “Early Attachment and Later Developments: Familiar Questions New Answers,” Thompson (2015) finds out that mothers of securely attached children are also more sensitive and helpful toward their offspring in the follow-up assessments. Their behavior is also found to support the positive behavior of their children. In the words of one researcher, “secure dyads ‘work’ better” together (Slade, 1987, p. 83), suggesting that the consistency between attachment security and later parent-child interaction is dyadic.

However, sometimes early attachment does not influence future relationships in any way. In one of his studies, Lewis (1997) established that insecurely attached infants did not necessarily show the same attachment classification at the age of 18. According to them, various intervention factors may arise and modify the attachment classification of an infant. Among these interventions are parental divorces and increases or other transformations in the responsiveness of caregivers in childhood. Infants—the victims of a divorce—are more likely to protect their children in the future from the same fate. On the other hand, suffering from the effects of reduced responsiveness of the caregivers, the victim infants may protect their children from the same fate by giving them their full attention afterward.

Hi Paula,In your post, you wrote: ” Practically, infant-caregiver attachment affects later adult-sibling relationships both positively and negatively.  For a case in point, in “Early Attachment and Later Developments: Familiar Questions New Answers,” Thompson (2015) finds out that mothers of securely attached children are also more sensitive and helpful toward their offspring in the follow-up assessments.

I’m hoping you can expand upon your argument here. How does the Thompson article have implications for relationship quality in adulthood?

I’m not sure how the Slade piece ties in.

Can you go into more detail in your arguments?

I look forward to your response.

Discussion Spark: Social and Emotional Development in Adulthood

Throughout the course, you have examined issues pertaining to social and emotional development across the entire the lifespan, beginning in infancy and ending this week in adulthood. When people think about development, many think about the beginning of the lifespan during infancy, continuing through childhood and adolescence. However, development, defined as the science that seeks to understand how and why people change or remain the same over time, is not always discussed to the same degree in adulthood. Therefore, the Discussion Spark this week intends to have you think through this later developmental stage.

By Day 2

Post a response to the following: In what ways do you think that individuals’ social and emotional development keeps on changing toward the end of the lifespan? Do you continue to develop in older adulthood in these areas? If so, in what ways? If not, why not? Provide examples to support your arguments.

4. It is important to know the strengths perspective when assisting a clientconsumer because strengths perspective have helped clients in “areas such as developmental resilience, healing, and wellness” (Saleebey, 1996, para, 1). This has given clients “psychosocial approaches based on individual, family, and community pathology, deficits, problems, abnormality, victimization, and disorder” (Saleebey, 1996, para, 2). The strength perspective is an attempt to correct in some cases, what is wrong, what is missing, and what is abnormal in a person’s life. Some of Marta’s strengths are the love for her children, her forgiveness, and her wanting to work things out with her husband. I would support her strengths by using them to provide her a source for the revival and renewal of energies and possibilities” (Saleebey, 1996, para, 15).
