9/x Rebecca Jackson honed in on the problem of the meaning of measurement "units" in #SocialSciences.

Although not dissimilar to other areas of measurement, it is important to remember how many steps are necessary to establish that the units can be meaningfully interpreted.

#PhilSky #Validity

7/x Leah took the last straw the audience was holding on to:

No, even when thinking about clocks and time, ongoing coordination is an issue. There is no #GoldStandard for time, its #measurement is under constant development.

#PhilSky #ISOQOL

6/x @ricksawatzky.bsky.social's recorded input focused on #Exchangeablility and discussed how the term #PatientCentered measurement may relate to ideographic and nomothetic methods.

4/x One of the core ideas for me is the notion of aiming for an #EpistemicDialogue as an approach to understand and meaningfully integrate the positions of different stakeholders, enabling us to "foreground and examine our own assumptions and values."

#Measurement #Gadamer #PatientCentered #PhilSky

3/x Sebastian Rodriguez Duque (McGill U) discussed "ongoing coordination", i.e. the process how we establish a link btw our instruments and the constructs they purport to measure.

One of the points of modern validity theory is, that this process essentially never ends.

#Measurement #HRQL #PhilSky

8/x The last chapter focuses on the contexts of use of #HRQL measures (e.g., #FDA, agencies, #PatientCentered initiatives). Kevin Weinfurt (👇) and Rebecca Jackson discussed how even the often ignored response options reflect assumptions of how we want to represent what we are measuring!
