Assignment 2

Indices and Scales

Consult Morris Library's online resources to locate a social science journal the library has online. Find an article that develops or uses a pre-existing index or scale, then respond to the following:

1. What is the full citation of the article?

2. Describe one index or scale discussed in the article.

3. Using the material in Chapter 6 in Babbie, discuss how you might go about determining the validity of the index or scale you selected.

Please limit your work to no more than two typewritten pages.
