SOC 3020 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Theoretical Definition, Operationalization, Chick Flick
Document Summary
Conceptualization- the process of specifying what is meant by a term (concept) The more abstract your concept, the more complex the conceptualization process is. The inability to read or write at all. The inability to read or write well enough to complete normal activities of adult life without help. Ok to start with dictionary definitions of the term, just don"t stop there! False positives- defining something or someone into the concept who doesn"t belong there (designing an example of a chick flick that isn"t a chick flick) False negatives- defining someone or something out of your concept who really belongs in it. A romantic comedy movie made to get more attention from girls than guys. It is not an action or horror movie. Yes it can be both funny and sad or funny and romantic. Gives girls false sense of reality in terms of relationships (fairytales)
