Psychological measurement is the development of procedures to measure people's intelligence or personality. Activities related to psychological measurement are tests, observations, and interviewing.
Applied Psychological Measurement was created in 1977.
Psychometrics refers to the science of measuring mental capacities and processes. The word originates from Greek, where "psycho-" means relating to the mind, and "metrics" refers to measurement.
One limitation of early psychological research studies is that they often lacked diversity in study participants, leading to a lack of generalizability to populations outside of the samples used. Additionally, early studies may have been limited in their methodologies and measurement tools, which could affect the validity and reliability of their findings.
The word 'psychological' is the adjective form of the noun psychology.
Repeated trials of the same measurement will show validity, IF the measurement is a valid measurement. For example, most psychological tests administered by professionals have been validated. But, if a person tried to make up questions similar to the MMPI test, the made up questions would only be an unscientific poll and would not be a reliable instrument.
Applied Psychological Measurement was created in 1977.
