Psychometrics
|
Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, personality traits, and educational measurement. The field is primarily concerned with the construction and validation of measurement instruments such as questionnaires, tests, and personality assessments. It involves two major research tasks, namely: (i) the construction of instruments and procedures for measurement; and (ii) the development and refinement of theoretical approaches to measurement. Those who practice psychometrics are known as psychometricians. All psychometricians possess a specific psychometric qualification, and while many are clinical psychologists, others work as human resources or learning and development professionals.

I want to find out if alternative therapuetic techniques like gardening or light therapy impacts the behaviors, moods and overall self-esteem of a developmental disabled person? Asked by Jeff S - Thu Feb 11 20:41:57 2010 - - 1 Answers - Comments A. That sounds like an incredible research project!!! Since psychometrics uses surveys, questionnaires, interviews, etc...you'd have to create your measure to include an extensive array of questions along with a variety of demographics. Do you have access to a disabled population? (Not sure what types of disabilities you have in mind.) Could you get the permission of any facilities within your area to interview/survey clients and/or patients? Alot to think about but dang!!! This is a great topic to investigate!!! I'd love to know what you find out. I am a psych major right now and plan to pursue my masters and doctorate in research psychology. i love research!!!
