Can you help explain how I do this exercise? I understand the concept of operational definitions but do not understand the directions.

Operational Definitions Exercises

Below area number of statements with bolded and underlined phrases or words within them. The bolded and underlined words are the variables for which you will generate operational definitions. Although operational definitions can be physiological or self-report in nature, you are to create operational definitions that are behavioral. Make sure you are clear on behavioral operational definitions before continuing. Remember, if you are writing an operational definition of something like depression you might say that the individual is depressed if they: 1) sleep more than 8 to 10 hours at a time, 2) refuse to eat for 2 to 3 days per week, 3) spend 5 to 7 days isolated from other people.

Below each original statement write the operational definition for each variable. Then recreate the sentence substituting your operational definitions for the conceptual definitions (underlined terms). Your work will be graded on your ability to create operational definitions that are (1) quantifiable, (2) behavioral, and (3) objectively measurable - meaning otherscould measure them in the same fashion. Remember, quantifiable means measured in some way, behavioral means observable, objectively measurable means you are using a measure that anyone can use to verify your results (a ruler to measure height is an objective measure because an inch is the same no matter who uses the ruler).
