conceive Add to list Share. To conceive is to come up with an idea.

Two important steps in measurement are conceptualization and operationalization. Conceptualization involves defining abstract ideas with specific characteristics. Operationalization involves specifying how a variable or concept will be measured in a specific study.

As verbs the difference between conceptualised and conceptualized. is that conceptualised is (conceptualise) while conceptualized is (conceptualize).

Operationalization can be defined as the process of turning abstract concepts into measurable observations. It involves defining how a concept can be measured, observed, or manipulated. Using operationalization, researchers can systematically collect and evaluate phenomena that can’t be observed directly.
