The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate that students are able to operationalize a variable, chart
and visually analyze data. For this assignment you should choose a psychosocial construct to measure on
yourself (a problem, belief, feeling, or behavior). You can use a behavior log, and individualized rating
scale, or a standardized scale to operationalize your construct and collect data. You should collect data
every day for seven days, and then chart using the data using excel.
After charting the data, write a brief summary and reaction: Discuss what construct you measured and how
you operationalized the construct. Conduct a visual analysis. Discuss directionality and stability. Discuss
your thoughts on how appropriate your measurement tool for collecting data on a daily basis. Finally
discuss in a few sentences what the experience of collecting data on yourself was like.
