In this video, Dr. Kushner discusses operational definitions. Operational definitions help psychologists clearly and concretely state WHAT they are studying, and HOW you will measure it.

Gotta be honest. You taught this better than my grad professor
love it. You have articulated this incredibly! Good job. keep it coming.
wow just excellent explanation. I got the topic
Thank you for sharing this video. It's very informative. :D
Operational definition of intelligence: Define in terms of what an intelligent behaviour looks like- - based on rational thought - engaged in purposefully - effective on the environment For example: • aiming a gun at a target and squeezing the trigger only when the sight is locked on the target (intelligent) • aiming a gun toward a target but not keeping the sight locked on the target before squeezing the trigger (non-intelligent) • differentiation I from NI: count of shots within a certain radius from the bullseye in the target This is essentially what intelligence tests do: they count behaviour to measure consistency of behaviour across several tasks in order to determine the likelihood that the person being tested behaved intelligently during testing. IQ does not indicate how clever one is: it indicates how consistent one is. Higher consistency means higher probability that examinee's behaviour during testing fulfilled the definition (due to Wechsler) above.
🙏 Thanks Sir for such a great video.

How would this be applicable to an extended literature? What would be the approach?

Can you explain?
Do you have a workbook or pdf with numerous practice examples to gain an understanding of creating operational definitions? I will gladly purchase a tutorial tool from you! I’m truly lost 😞 and my professor has moved on.

@@PsychExplained2. What is the students’ feedback to cad courses in university? feedback/response measurable=survey(satisfaction1-5scale and open-ended questions), but what is observable? 3. How do labor markets affect students’ learning choice about cad software? learning choice measurable=survey to see what kind of software they will learn and how, but what is observable? i was confusing with this for almost one week. still didn't figure it out

Did this video include any operational definitions, or was it just talking about how to make one without providing an example of one?

@@PsychExplained Thank you. Operational definitions have been hard for me to grasp. From your and other videos, this is what I've come up with. I would greatly appreciative if you would please correct me if I've misunderstood anything: Hypothesis: The desire to be reunited increases as time apart from a significant other increases. Predictor Variable: Time apart. Criterion Variable: Desire to be reunited. Operational Definition: For this study, time apart means the duration of separation of significant others. The desire to be reunited means to want to be able to physically interact with their significant other. Participants self-reported their belief that the desire to be reunited grows stronger as time apart increases by answering yes or no.

@@Ariana_VT Great stuff! Love the study. Few thoughts: 1. Be specific on "time apart". For example, longer than 2 years? 5 years? 6 months? 2. What do you mean by significant others? Friends? Relationships? Family members? 3. Rather than "yes/no", I would create a Likert scale - "On a scale of 1-10, how much do you desire/miss your significant other after time apart". Somehow you need to quantify "desire".

@@stevenkushner8348 Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely incorporate it all. Regarding 3, I was confusing correlational with qualitative (but yes / no is closed-ended so it wouldn't even be qualitative)... I also need to write this study using the experimental method wherein I decided to use a 1-5 scale instead of yes or no because I was confusing experimental with quantitative. My goal was to have both be quantitative. Thank you so much for the help! I feel much better about all of this now!
but 19 ends in "teen"
Rip 19 lol
