next step is to submit the items you would like to include in your scale. Your group leader will submit these both to the designated file submission area on Blackboard and upload them to the Discussion board for classmate feedback. Development of Items: You are to brainstorm as a group and write up a draft list of items that you think, based on your own knowledge, background research/theory, and perhaps consultation with others you know who may be knowledgeable on the topic, would best contribute to an overall measurement of the chosen construct. If it seems your construct may be made up of 2-4 (or more) larger components or groups of items, specify these groupings in your draft. For this project, your group's final scale (Step 5) should consist of about 15-25 items, so for your draft, it is advised to write roughly 3x as many draft items (45- 75). Read the guides below completely before brainstorming/writing. One way to approach the item list is to write 15-25 and then try out a few alternative wordings for each item (though I don't want every single item doubled), OR, if you are not yet certain what is relevant and would still
