This tool will help you in mapping out all the possible control and independent variables in order to select the most suitable variables for the homogeneous grouping and the positive deviant identification steps of Stage 2 and the positive deviants characterization step of Stage 3 Using the guidance provided below you will be able to categorize and map the study variables into four main types Homogeneous grouping Factors beyond the control of individuals that can influence the outcomes of the target group and at the same time they cannot be changed e g rain PD identification Individual level factors that can influence the outcomes of the target group and at the same time they cannot be changed Those variables should be controlled for when identifying positive deviants within each homogeneous group or cluster e g socioeconomic status PD characterization Supra individual Factors beyond the control of individuals that can influence the outcomes of the target group but can be transferred to peer communities e g policies PD characterization Individual Individual level factors that can influence the outcomes of the target group and can be changed and transferred e g soil and water conservation techniques In di vi du al Non transferable Transferable Su pr a in di vi du al Homogeneous Grouping PD Identification PD Characterization PD Characterization 131 132 H ow s tr u ct u ra l i s is t h is v ar ia b le How transferable is this variable Tool 2 1 Variable Mapping
