This review is from: An Introduction to Psychological Tests and Scales (Hardcover)
Kate Loewenthal has written an exceptional book. Clearly worded, succinct and yet pleasant to read. I love this book, refer to it often and recommended it to my trainees and colleagues. If you have questions about how to develop a scale, how to evaluate an item for reliability, want to know more about validity, buy this book.
