read about the concept

Explanation:

To apply the scientific method in social science research, researchers must define concepts in measurable, concrete terms. This specific type of definition is required to systematically study concepts. Causal logic refers to cause-effect reasoning, while dependent/independent variables are the measurable elements, not the definitions of the concepts themselves.

Answer:

O operational definition
