Statistical Test Theory for the Behavioral Sciences

Psychological testing has become increasingly important since the development of the first intelligence test at the start of the twentieth century. Statistical Test Theory for the Behavioral Sciences presents an overview of testing theory with an emphasis on psychology, education, and the behavioral sciences. Featuring a wide range of examples using real data from these disciplines, this book provides complete coverage on topics such as reliability, validity, measurement error, generalizability, and item response theory. Assuming only a basic knowledge of statistical subjects like analysis of variance and regression, it includes a wealth of exercises at the end of each chapter along with solutions in an appendix.
