Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adam's definition of cartoon violence is an operational definition, as it specifies the precise criteria for what constitutes cartoon violence in his study (i.e. acts that would result in serious bodily harm leading to a hospital visit). A nominal definition simply assigns a name to something without further explanation, a behavioral definition focuses on observable behavior, and an attitudinal measure assesses people's attitudes or opinions on a particular topic.
