SORU:

Which measurement techniques are used in physical and social sciences ?


CEVAP:

In physical sciences, generally direct measurement is employed which refers to measuring the target features without any influence from other variables. In this measurement type, the features of the variable to be measured and the measurement tool are of the same kind. Social sciences mostly use indirect measurement techniques. Indirect measurement refers to measuring a variable that is not fit for direct measurement by using measurement tools that supposedly measure this particular variable.
