The process of defining abstract psychological concepts in terms of specific, measurable procedures or observations.
From Latin 'operari' (to work) + '-ization.' Making abstract ideas operational (measurable and workable).
Operationalization is turning vague ideas into measurable things — how do you measure 'happiness'? Maybe it's a smile count, a survey score, or cortisol levels!
