It's tricky to measure things like "democracy", "development culture."
You end up measuring these concepts by measuring something else that's linked to it - sociologists call this an indication. This is called oprationalising a concept, making it operational, workable, by finding a way to measure it. Researchers need to be able to justify how they operationalised their concepts in their final report - subjective process.
