About this product
Product Information
Grounded in current knowledge and professional practice, this book provides up-to-date coverage of psychometric theory, methods, and interpretation of results. Essential topics include measurement and statistical concepts, scaling models, test design and development, reliability, validity, factor analysis, item response theory, and generalizability theory. Also addressed are norming and test equating, topics not typically covered in traditional psychometrics texts. Examples drawn from a dataset on intelligence testing are used throughout the book, elucidating the assumptions underlying particular methods and providing SPSS (or alternative) syntax for conducting analyses. The companion website presents datasets for all examples as well as PowerPoint slides of figures and key concepts. Pedagogical features include equation boxes with explanations of statistical notation, and end-of-chapter glossaries. The Appendix offers extensions of the topical chapters with example source code from SAS, SPSS, IRTPRO, BILOG-MG, PARSCALE, TESTFACT, and DIMTEST.

"I like the book and it meshes well with what I plan to do in my course. I particularly like the generalizability theory, norms and test equating, scaling, and validation process chapters. It is very easy reading--I am planning to use the book next spring."--R. J. de Ayala, PhD, Chair of Educational Psychology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln "I encourage all psychologists and educators to read this marvelous book. I learned a lot from reading it. The key terms are very useful, as are the chapter summaries. Readers of all levels will find material relevant to them, including SPSS code and GfGc datasets on intelligence that will be quite useful in trying out the ideas. I give this book my highest recommendation and think it will be a great classroom text."--John J. McArdle, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Southern California "This book is both comprehensive and accessible, laying the foundation for all the requisite skills needed to be both a successful consumer and producer of psychometrics. Scholars who are unfamiliar with measurement could easily teach themselves from this text, becoming quite proficient at psychometrics. There is excellent integration of quantitative statistics throughout, so that readers will be able not only to understand the psychometric concepts, but also to apply their knowledge. This is a useful text for a graduate-level Psychometric Methods or Measurement class."--Debbie L. Hahs-Vaughn, PhD, Department of Educational and Human Sciences, University of Central Florida "An encyclopedia of psychometric issues--a real 'must have' for anyone teaching Tests and Measurement or Research Methods, or directing student research projects. The book's high level of detail makes it invaluable for any professional who works with, creates, or analyzes psychometric material. The use of intelligence testing data throughout the chapters helps bring cohesiveness."--John Wallace, PhD, Department of Psychological Science, Ball State University "With vast expertise in psychometric instrument development, statistical applications, and research, Price has produced a theoretically informed, practical volume. Professionals in health-related fields will find this book extremely valuable for guidance in the development of rigorous instruments, such as patient-reported outcome measures. Featuring examples using a range of software, this text is ideal for graduate courses on measurement in schools of medicine, public health, nursing, or health professions."--Byron J. Gajewski, PhD, Department of Biostatistics, University of Kansas Medical Center, "An encyclopedia of psychometric issues--a real 'must have' for anyone teaching Tests and Measurement or Research Methods or directing student research projects.

Gajewski, PhD, Department of Biostatistics, University of Kansas Medical Center, This book is suitable for emerging assessment professionals and practitioners who are interested in learning psychometrics but with little knowledge in statistics. It provides not only a theoretical foundation to the topics but also worked examples to highlight their practical applications. The syntax, output, and interpretations based on software programs like SPSS and BILOG-MG will help readers to bridge theory and methods with hands-on examples. This book would be a convenient toolbox for applied researchers who would like to conduct psychometric analyses, and it would also serve as a handbook for graduate students who study measurement and psychometrics., Donna Podems has a wealth of experience and easily engages the reader in an exploration of the field with appropriately attenuated aplomb and generously sprinkled humor....She provides [a] broad definition of the field, describing practice in friendly ways, and spends a good deal of time translating her experience into practical and prescriptive lessons. She intends, and succeeds at, 'demystifying' evaluation practice and exploring what it means to be an evaluator....Dr. Podems deftly uses stories from the field, friendly insider secrets, a consistent evaluand as an example, and other well-applied storytelling mechanisms to make the endeavor less mysterious. The novice and experienced evaluator will [gain] purchase with the examples she leverages to make evaluation more accessible., "An encyclopedia of psychometric issues--a real 'must have' for anyone teaching Tests and Measurement or Research Methods or directing student research projects.

I was very happy, finally finding, this Large Print version for my mother, even though I thought $9.99 shipping was a bit excessive. My happiness continued until I opened the shipping container and found a receipt itemizign book and shipping which totaled $15.00 less than I paid. Your suggestion for me to ignore the receipt was not the solution I was looking for when I contacted you. Perhaps a better solution would have been to apologize and insure you would be more cautious for future sales.
