"I recommend this book to any researcher (graduate student, academic, social scientist) who is considering developing a summated rating scale. For those who are already sophisticated in psychometrics and data analysis (factor analysis and generalizability theory analysis), the book provides a clear outline of what needs to be done."
This book gives a step by step instruction on how to develop a sound psychological scale, addressing several issues in test construction, e.g. reliability, validity, and recommended strategies for developing and finalizing the scales. The language is easy and the examples are helpful. All in all, it gives a good overview over the topic of test construction and should be useful in curricula on test development, validation and evaluation. A limitation is that some of the methods described are not up-to-date.
A great textbook for those looking the steps on how to design and verify measurement instruments. The language is easy and the examples very helpful. Strongly recommended.
This book is a must have for Ph.d. student whose thesis concentrate in quantitative method and need to prove the reliability and validity of the scale. The author shows a very easy step by step on how to build your reliable measurement scale with the very good examples. If you go through the recommendation, I'm pretty sure that your scale would be generalized.
