Sociology
One of the difficulties in ‘operationalizing’ concepts like social class is that:
definitions and indicators can vary, making valid comparisons problematic
there are no reliable indicators of such widely contested ideas
it takes all the fun out of armchair theorising
it has little use for applied, empirical research about the topic
definitions and indicators can vary, making valid comparisons problematic
In order to translate an abstract theory into a practical research design, it must be operationalized. This means that the concepts must be turned into variables that can be measured. However, this can be difficult with certain concepts that do not have straightforward, unambiguous indicators. Social class, for example, could be measured in terms of occupation, income, wealth, attitudes, values, and so on. 97-98
