This latest volume in the series Psychological Assessment – Science
and Practice describes the current state-of-the-art in test development
and construction. The past 10–20 years have seen substantial
advances in the methods used to develop and administer tests. In this
volume many of the world’s leading authorities collate these advances
and provide information about current practices, thus equipping researchers
and students to successfully construct instruments using
the latest standards and techniques. The volume is organized into five
related sections. The first explains the benefits of considering the underlying
theory when designing tests, with a focus on factor analysis
and item response theory in construction. The second section looks at
item format and test presentation. The third discusses model testing
and selection, while the fourth goes into statistical methods to identify
group-specific biases. The final section discusses current topics of
special relevance, such as multi-trait multi-state analyses and development
of screening instruments.
