Measurement Theory in Action: Case Studies and Exercises, Second Edition - Softcover

"As someone who has frequently taught measurement courses, I am a firm believer that student learning of the material is critically tied to being able to apply the core techniques. This book provides tremendous opportunities for application of fundamental measurement concepts and techniques in all key aspects of the test development and validation process." – Ronald S. Landis, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA

"This is an excellent introduction to psychometrics with a strong hands-on emphasis. The writing is clear and easy to follow. This is an invaluable resource for students new to psychological and educational measurement as well as for instructors looking for solid examples to use in their courses." – Adam Meade, North Carolina State University, USA

"This book offers a view of measurement and measurement practice that goes beyond most books on measurement, which are so analytical that they might well be called "Measurement theory inaction." Highly recommended for anyone interested in views on measurement theory." – Michael James Zyphur, University of Melbourne, Australia

"I love the practical questions, case studies, and exercises. ...The authors are wonderful writers. ... It is accessible to undergraduates and ... graduate students ... I will use it, and I will most definitely recommend it to everyone. ... Practitioners wanting a refresher in measurement would find this valuable." – Lisa Finkelstein, Northern Illinois University, USA

"The target market for this book can be expanded beyond just psychology/education students to include business management students. As someone who teaches research methods to these students, I believe there is a dire need for such measurement texts. ...I am more than happy to adopt it and recommend to my colleagues." – Debi P. Mishra, State University of New York – Binghamton, USA

"It is a very easy book to pick up and read. ... Half of the instructor’s battle ... is simply getting the students to read the assigned material. Shultz and Whitney [and Zickar] make it easy to win that battle. ...The students really seem to like it. ...Some of [case studies] are "dead-on" relevant to situations that my students find themselves in. ...It’s a great text." – Dennis Devine, Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis, USA
