Written at a highly accessible level, Scale Development guides the reader through the identification of the latent variable, the generation of an item pool, the format of measurement and the optimization of the scale length. Background methods and theories are presented conceptually rather than mathematically so the reader can develop an intuitive grasp of the concepts.

From the Inside Flap:
Praise for the First Edition:

"Very readable, well organized, and straightforward. I would recommend this book for practitioners, graduate students, and faculty members who are seeking a practical, rather than a psychometric, treatment of scale development. This book offers a clear overview for those interested in the development and validation of measurement scales."
