PSY 531 - Psychometrics

Psychological assessments provide a critical lens through which we can observe human nature; however, their utility is constrained by their psychometric properties. This course is designed to introduce students to critical aspects of psychometric theory fundamental to the development, evaluation, and interpretation of psychological assessments used by psychologists and counselors. Current issues and controversies will be explored. Students explore assessment procedures, basic test statistics, test validity, and reliability, and the use of test findings in the therapeutic and evaluation process. 3 Credit(s).
