1. What are some characteristics of psychological constructs that contribute to difficulty of measurement?

Solution

The most important characteristic that makes it difficult to measure is the fact that psychological constructs are hypothetical, they exist as concept but they are not tangibles. It is very hard to measure something you can not touch. However, there are come constructs that become so familiar and ingrained in common use thatmost people assume their manifest existence.

Defining the dimensions to measure the construct is another difficulty as well as the scale.
