Use of Existing Measures

Discussion 2: Use of Existing Measures

One of the best ways to learn is to critique the work of others. For this week’s Discussion 2, choose an instrument used in one of the research studies listed in the resources for this week or from a research study that relates to the concept you proposed to measure in Discussion 1. Consider how you would compare your original measurement to the existing measurement.

Post by Day 5 a brief explanation of your chosen research study and the measurement instrument used. Then, compare your original measurement approach to the existing instrument. Next, explain how you would revise or replace your original measurement plan. Finally explain the advantages and/or disadvantages of using existing instruments for measurement. Please use the resources to support your answer.
