Item 65Item 65 Jim, a psychiatrist, develops a method to study mood swings in individuals. He asks individuals to describe the f
requency and intensity of their mood swings and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. He wants to develop a treatment plan according to the average outcomes of the frequency and the intensity of mood swings. In this scenario, Jim is trying to ________ the variable "mood swing."

Explanation:
There is no as such explanation of the given scenario as it is just a fill in the blank as according to the scenario, Jim asks individuals to describe the frequency and intensity of their mood swings and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. He wants to develop a treatment plan according to the average outcomes of the frequency and the intensity of mood swings. In this scenario, Jim is trying to <u>operationalize</u> the variable "mood swing."
OPERATIONALIZATION refers to the process where by specific variable are defined and measured based on their function in a study/experiment.
However, to operationalize a variable in a study, a paradigm (theoretical framework) is used by researcher to create a concept through the process of conceptualization.
Definitions are made to back up the study, in other to remove any error or any doubt of the readers during accessing the study.
Thus, based on Jim's study. He defined the frequency and the intensity of the mood swings (as the two variables) for better understanding by the individuals.
The school of social thought that insists all social structures, including systems of stratification, are built out of everyday interactions is called the symbolic interactionism. It is an idea that focuses on linguistic communication and a subjective understanding on the role of language in the development of a child considered to be a social being.
Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the psychological construct missing from this intelligence test is test-retest reliability. This is a measure to see how reliable the results of a test are, and is done by administering the same test twice, after a set amount of time has passed. Such as the researcher has done in this scenario.
