CONCEPTS & VARIABLES
‘An image, perception or concept that is capable of measurement – hence capable of taking different values – is called a variable’ [Kumar, p.62]The difference between a concept and a variable is measurability‘Concepts are mental images or perceptions’Concepts need to be converted to variables (i.e. operationalized)
