Abstract
Standardization of social measures creates common understanding, supports the accumulation of evidence, and establishes comparability. It also, necessarily, entails loss of information, which is especially costly in comparisons across populations. This essay offers numerous examples of social measures and metrics to illustrate the complex trade-offs between standardization and construct validity.
