Anyway...There has been years of research...even beyond this more recent resilience research...on identifying protective factors in healthy child development. Yes, there have been many psychological instruments used, so assume factor analyses were done (though to be honest, I was not thinking of factor analysis when I used the term...though maybe I should). If you are interested, and can give you some good references on resilience research that I think are key.

So can you or can't you not "operationalise" healthy relationships?

It depends more specifically upon what you are studying, how you define it and what validated tools you use to measure it.

But, yes, healthy relationships can be operationalized.

Its just challenging when a researcher is trying to do this "in the field", as opposed to in a more controlled clinic or university setting. There's a lot of variables that can come into play.
