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).

Statistics might be utilized in my own evidence-based practice by using these scales to  assess the equality of patient car at my hospital.

2) Summarize the case from the perspective of the person in their environment. Examine the person’s life from the Micro, Mezzo, and Macro perspectives and describe the kinds of influences that may have led to this person’s situation for each level of influence.

For example:

  •  Micro: Consider the personality, emotions, beliefs, behaviors, goals interests, mental health, and strengths and weaknesses.

 

  •  Mezzo: Next, consider any small groups in which they interact such as family, peer groups, social groups, sports groups, or any other small groups in which they are involved.

 

  •  Macro: Consider any groups in which they have been involved, any organizations, and their community. This could include business, church, neighborhood, school, or other agencies or larger entities.

 

  •  Diversity: Consider any elements of diversity that may have played a part in the problem they face in life, describing how these factors may have been significant along the different levels.

circles, and then within their family context, peers, church, neighborhood, etc. On the other hand, the individual may find strong support system among other new peer groups or organizations.)

  •  Consider the individual’s strengths and weaknesses in dealing with their circumstances.

 

  •  What are their stressors and how do they cope with them? How well have they adapted to their circumstances?

3) Next, consider ways in which you, as a student or behavioral science worker, might apply the concepts from this course to benefit this individual. Describe the kinds of roles that you might employ in this individual’s behalf. Will they come from the macro, mezzo or micro level of support, or a combination? Support your comments with scholarly references.
