The book is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Psychometrics, Testing and Measurement, Research Methods, and Experimental Methods across a range of behavioral sciences and education. The book: (1) Presents information in a clear, conversational style (2) Highlights practical applications (3) Offers a contemporary treatment of topics in psychometrics and (4) Introduces statistical procedures in the context of their use.
By emphasizing concepts over mathematical proofs and by focusing on practical significance, this book assists students in appreciating not just how measurement problems can be addressed and why it is important to address them. The authors center their presentation of material around a conceptual understanding of psychometric issues, such as validity and reliability, and on purpose rather than procedure, the "why" rather than the "how to." Their goal is to introduce psychometric principles at a level that is deeper and more focused than found in introductory undergraduate testing and measurement texts and more intuitive than traditionally found in technical publications intended for graduate courses.
