A survey asking five questions measuring marital satisfaction is an example of an index. An index is a composite measure consisting of multiple indicators, in this case, the five questions measuring marital satisfaction. The other answer choices are not applicable to this scenario: nominal measure refers to categories that cannot be ranked; ordinal measure refers to categories that can be ranked but do not have equal intervals; operationalization is the process of defining a concept and specifying how it will be measured; and conceptualization refers to the process of developing a clear understanding of a concept.
