Each review contains information regarding: the variable measured; description of the test; sample in which the test was developed; reliability, including appropriate information on internal reliability, test-retest reliability and factor structure; validity; where the test is located; final evaluative comments.
Reviews
This handbook will be essential for every university library. Those doing and supervising psychological research will want to own a copy, as will those occupied with psychological assessment in clinical, educational, occupational, health and other contexts. The books is a detailed source of information on modern psychological tests. The editors and reviewers are to be congratulated on the range, comprehensiveness and sheer interest of the book, the clarity and consistency of presentation, and the careful adherence to contemporary psychometric standards. Kate M. Loewenthal
The major strength of the volume concerns the systematic, disciplined and thorough way in which each instrument is presented and assessed. In each case the construct is sharply defined, and the instrument carefully described. . . . Each instrument is also assessed by the reviewer in respect of strengths, weaknesses and further potential developments. A useful set of references locates the source of the instrument and subsequent studies in which the instrument has been employed. Dr. Leslie J. Francis
