Propose at least two ways to measure the IV, social media use, and at least two ways to measure the DV, ideological extremism. Compare your operationalizations. Will these two measures be perfectly correlated? If we ran the study using different combinations of these measures, would we expect to reach the same, or different, conclusions? Explain your reasoning.

A researcher proposes the following hypothesis:

I hypothesize that in a comparison of Americans, increased social media use is associated with increased ideological extremism, all else equal.

Propose at least two ways to measure the IV, social media use, and at least two ways to measure the DV, ideological extremism. Compare your operationalizations. Will these two measures be perfectly correlated? If we ran the study using different combinations of these measures, would we expect to reach the same, or different, conclusions? Explain your reasoning.
