Abstract

Item and scale development are critical components to survey research and are often an institutional researcher's best tool for understanding higher education populations. As such, it is vital to develop and use sound instruments that provide useful information. This poster presentation will discuss methods for operationalizing concepts, creating items, forming aggregate measures, and using appropriate means for validation and reevaluation. Processes and examples from national large-scale, multi-institution, longitudinal survey projects will be used as a starting point to show viewers suggestions and provide tips at each stage of the aggregate life cycle.
