Product Description
In behavioral science, measurement methods and theory are often discussed in isolation, separate from specific substantive research questions. This frequently leads to the development of tools that do not fit substantive research questions of current interest closely enough to provide convincing scientific answers. As a consequence, there is a need for the development of more specific theory-guided measurement devices, instruments, and associated statistical methods that are tailored to the research questions of interest.
This volume presents examples of this type of research-question-driven applied psychological measurement in three areas: individual differences in cognition, applied fields such as neuropsychology and trauma research, and educational psychology and competence research.
