Editorial Reviews
Review
"I would describe this text as clearly written with an appropriate amount of coverage and detail for a sophomore or junior level class. The number of tests discussed is considerable, but appropriate. The text contains numerous examples that illustrate relevant, and sometimes difficult, topics very nicely. The fundamental issues of reliability and validity are discussed in a somewhat rudimentary way and without much connection to classical measurement theory, but that is probably wise for a course that does not require much statistical knowledge on the part of the students taking the class. Overall, this is a well-written, solid textbook that I would highly recommend."
Product Description
Easy-to-read and accessible, PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING: PRINCIPLES, APPLICATIONS, AND ISSUES effectively communicates the excitement and dynamics of the field of psychological testing. Robert Kaplan and Dennis Saccuzzo provide students with a current analysis of the most widely used psychological tests in schools, professional training programs, business, industry, the military, and clinical settings. The authors offer a clear picture of how psychological tests are constructed, how they are used, and how an understanding of them can make a difference in their careers and everyday lives. Comprehensive and accurate, yet interesting and personally relevant, this book gets and keeps students' attention through the use of informal discussions and real-life examples.
