Week 3 Assignment 1: CONCEPTUALIZING AND OPERATIONALIZING
VARIABLES

PURPOSE: The purpose of this exercise is to conceptualize
and operationalize variables, and understand how conceptual and operational
definitions impact the conclusions drawn about variables.

WRITING REQUIREMENTS: The essay should be 7-9
pages. APA formatting should be used throughout (cover page, running
header, major heading, subheadings, in-text citations, and reference list). Any
time you paraphrase or directly quote a source, in-text citations should be
used. A full APA-formatted reference
should be included at the end of the assignment. Academically, no more that 20%
of the essay should be quoted. At least 80% should be in your own words.

The essay should include the following subheadings:

Definitions

Conceptualizes race

Operationalizes race

Census Bureau changes

How changes to variables affect conclusions

Reflection

INSTRUCTIONS: Make sure to follow the directions in order.

First, provide a definition of the terms: “conceptual
definition” and “operational definition”.

Next, conceptualize and operationalize the variable “race.”

Read the Census Bureau’s report on race at:
https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2011/dec/c2010br-02.pdf.

Answer the following questions after reading the report:

What changes did the Bureau make to the conceptualization
and operationalization of race in the 2010 census?

Why did the Bureau make these changes?

Could the difference in operationalization produce different
conclusions about race?

Does the Bureau’s conceptualization and operationalization
of race coincide with yours? If so,
how? If not, what is different?
