Psychometrics

An Introduction

 NEW TO THIS EDITION: 

• Technical appendices in R help students apply concepts from most chapters in a free and powerful software program.
• Expanded figures and tables (more than twice as many as the previous edition) present information in condensed and visual formats for increased understanding.
• Additional coverage of fundamental statistics and concepts ensures readers start each chapter with the appropriate context and background.
• Expanded depth and breadth of coverage of key issues in psychometrics, including summaries of relevant statistical packages, introduces readers to a wide range of important concepts, principles, and procedures.
• Enhanced clarity and accessibility further helps facilitate students’ ability to understand and appreciate the diverse and often highly technical material in psychometric theory.

KEY FEATURES:

• Information is presented in a clear conversational writing style that does not compromise the academic integrity of the material.
• Practical applications are highlighted through examples to enhance readers' appreciation of the importance of psychometrics.
• Statistical procedures are introduced in the context of their use, rather than in a separate chapter, for a more intuitive approach to understanding the material.
• Integration of statistics with a discussion of their use as tools to solve particular psychometric problems encourages a more complete understanding of both.
• PowerPoint(R) slides and a test bank offer instructors resources for the courses.
