Discussion 1 :
Single-subject research designs are popular in social work practice for measuring the impact of an intervention on an individual client, community, or organization.
To Do (writer choice)
Using yourself as the subject, think about a common, everyday behavior or habit you would like to change. It can be something you would like to start or stop doing, or an activity level that you would like to increase or decrease.
Next, develop a single-subject research design targeting the behavior you would like to change.
Initial Post Prompt:
In your discussion post, describe your single-subject research design and address the following elements:
1) Dependent and independent variables
2) Type of single-subject design you would use (e.g., A-B, A-B-A, A-B-A-B, etc.)
3) Measurement and analysis strategy

Discussion 2:
To Do
For this weeks discussion, think about a social construct that interests you, such as an attitude, value, or belief. Using the mental image you have of that construct, write down all of the indicators you can think of that specify exactly what you mean when you describe this phenomenon.
Next, assign a value to each indicator and interpret the value (See example below ):
One of the challenges of conducting social research is translating concepts into variables that can be measured and systematically tested. For example, if you are interested in measuring the concept of thriftiness, one indicator might be the proportion of clothing or household items owned that are second-hand, salvaged or reused (0 = None, 1 = Some, 2 = About Half, 3 = Most, or 4 = All). Based on personal observation, we may infer that a higher value would imply a higher degree of thriftiness as a personality trait.
Initial Post Prompt:
In your discussion post, describe the social concept you selected and name the behaviors or traits that you associate with it. Then, create a scale for measuring this concept, listing all the indicators you would you use to operationalize it and explaining each indicators level of measurement (i.e., Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio).
Finally, describe the procedures you would use to account for systematic error in the administering of your scale.
Your initial discussion board post should be at least 200-250 words in length. Please use APA 7 to cite the sources referenced in your post.
