Measurement Theory in Action

This book’s 22 self-standing modules help readers apply measurement theories. Each module features: an overview of a measurement issue; best practices for applying the theory; questions to test understanding; examples showing how to apply the material to data; cases that depict dilemmas faced when applying measurement theory with questions to encourage critical examination of the issues presented; and exercises some of which call for the use of SPSS. A website houses the accompanying data sets and more. Suggested readings, a glossary, and a continuing exercise are also provided. This book is ideal for students and professionals interested in applying measurement theory.
