Description

Which kinds of validity evidence will have to be regarded as when determining whether a scale is appropriate for a given measurement situation? What about reliability evidence? The use of clear explanations illustrated by examples from around the social and behavioral sciences, this engaging text prepares students to make effective decisions concerning the selection, administration, scoring, interpretation, and development of measurement instruments. Coverage includes the crucial measurement topics of scale development, item writing and analysis, and reliability and validity, in addition to more advanced topics such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, item response theory, diagnostic classification models, test bias and fairness, standard setting, and equating. End-of-chapter exercises (with answers) emphasize both computations and conceptual working out to encourage readers to think critically concerning the subject matter.
