What is the deductive path, the way in which measurement links abstract theory to empirical data?

Conceptualize a variable and assign it a clear conceptual definition, operationalize the variable (develop an operational definition for it), apply the operational definition in empirical reality or the concrete social world, test empirical hypotheses.
