In many studies, test-taking motivation is mainly operationalized through questions about students' invested effort, which covers the main element of the test-taking motivation definition.
The interviews were analysed, and the interview findings served as the foundation for identifying variables of interest that were to be operationalized in questions formulated for the study-specific questionnaire.
In the methodological section we describe how this framework is operationalized into survey questions.
The primary endpoints are operationalized by closed questions and non-invasive clinical examinations.
Unintentional weight loss was operationalized using 2 questions in SHARE: 1) "What has your appetite been like?" and/or 2) "So have you been eating more or less?".
Slowness was operationalized using two questions: "Because of health problems, do you have difficulty walking 100 m, or climbing one flight of stairs without resting?".
Given or chosen goals, plans, strategies, and rules are operationalized rather than questioned.

Its goal is rather to address the empirical question of which reasons (or arguments, or reflections) have been given in the academic literature when considering an ethical question, operationalized by identifying relevant quotations where reasons are given [ 7].
Single-loop learning occurs when people search for another strategy to address the error and work with, or within, the governing variables, so that extant goals, values, plans and rule are operationalized rather than questioned.
Low physical activity was operationalized using the question "How often do you engage in activities that require a low or moderate level of energy such as gardening, cleaning the car or going for a walk?".
