An Introduction to Psychometrics and Psychological Assessment is the highly anticipated successor to Coopers award-winning work, Psychological Testing: Theory and Practice. This comprehensive and revised edition showcases the effective selection, administration, scoring, interpretation, and development of psychological questionnaires and tests. By offering students, researchers, test users, test developers, and practitioners in the social sciences, education, and health with a valuable guide for choosing, utilizing, interpreting, and developing tests, this book equips readers with a thorough understanding of testing principles, along with the necessary methodological intricacies. This book stands out with three distinct features. Firstly, it prioritizes the fundamental logic of psychological assessment without delving into complex mathematics, utilizing spreadsheet simulations and utilities to facilitate hands-on exploration of numerical behavior. Readers will engage in a learning experience through active participation. Secondly, it encompasses both the theoretical foundations and practical considerations of psychological assessment, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of locating, designing, and utilizing tests, as well as interpreting their scores. Lastly, this book takes an evaluative approach, emphasizing the underlying principles, merits, and drawbacks of various assessment approaches and methodologies for developing and evaluating questionnaires and tests. Unlike typical introductory texts, it delves into cutting-edge techniques, including coverage of measurement invariance, methods for detecting and quantifying bias, and expanded sections on best practices for test translation into other languages, as well as addressing issues of cultural bias. Additionally, this new edition expands the discussion on hierarchical factor models, automatic item generation, and other relevant topics, making it an invaluable resource for advancing the field of psychometrics and psychological assessment.
