This book was released on 1964 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report is presented on psychological measurement, serving as an introduction to a more ambitious program for synthesizing and integrating the theory and methodology of psychological measurement and scaling. It has been recognized for some years that psychological measurement or psychometrics is concerned primarily with the entity mode of a two mode data matrix, while psychological scaling has been concerned with the attribute mode. Obviously, the two are inextricably interrelated, as the more sophisticated developments in factor analysis have made abundantly explicit. In spite of this interdependence an opaque, or at best a translucent, curtain continues to hang between psychometric and scaling activities. It is hoped that this series of reports may be followed by full scale progrms to integrate the two fields of investigation, and that the recent ingenious and major developments of Professor Ledyard Tucker in multimode factor analysis may lead to a further integration of psychometric and scaling theory with learning theory and developmental psychology. Obviously, these latter involve the occasion mode of a three mode data matrix.

This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book declines to take for granted the widespread assumption that existing psychometric procedures provide scientific measurement. The currently fashionable concepts of measurement within psychology -- operationalism and representationalism -- are critically examined, and the classical view, that measurement is the assessment of quantity, is defended. Within this framework, it is shown how conjoint measurement can be used to test the hypothesis that variables are quantitative. This theme is developed in detail using familiar psychological examples, such as Thurstone's law of comparative judgment, multidimensional scaling, and Coombs' theory of unfolding.
