vii+175, fine light blue endpapers, to me this seems absolutely pristine bar very faint short surface creases at inner bottom corners which only a pathological obsessive would worry about, however, there is a black 'Damaged' stamp bottom verso t.p., so am baffled. Black cloth covers clean, bright & unworn with loose transparent plastic 'jacket' (issued thus?) which has a few surface marks. Scarce.

About this title

Synopsis

This book applies the principles of measurement developed in education and psychology to the health sciences. It answers the need for a sound reproducible system of assessment techniques in the field, ranging from psychiatry to oncology, where clinical researchers are called in to measure pain, depression, function and other "quality-of-life" variables. Logically arranged and easily comprehensible, this "hands-on" guide emphasizes practical applications.l Written for clinical researchers in a wide spectrum of fields, as well as all students of measurement in social and behavioral sciences, it provides all the information needed to develop a new measurement scale, from the literature search to the design and the analysis of reliability and validity studies.
