steps & risks of the data selection process
- indicators allow for benchmarking & evaluation to simplify and quantify raw data
- Likert scale - leaves a huge margin for interpretation
- dichotomous variables (yes/no) are more reliable
- construct validity is important (does it really measure what it intends to measure?)
- data selection process can be really subjective (the researcher has to be transparent)
How can you measure Transparency?
