توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب تسلط بر نظریه و روش های نوین تست روانشناسی

این کتاب مقدمه‌ای جامع برای ارزیابی روان‌شناختی ارائه می‌کند و حوزه‌هایی را پوشش می‌دهد که معمولاً در متون آزمون‌ها و اندازه‌گیری‌های موجود، مانند ارزیابی عصب روان‌شناختی و استفاده از آزمون‌ها در محیط‌های پزشکی قانونی به آنها اشاره نمی‌شود. این کتاب واژگان این حرفه و ابتدایی ترین ریاضیات تست زنی اولیه را به عنوان اساسی برای درک این رشته معرفی می کند. نمونه‌های متعددی از آزمون‌هایی که نویسندگان نوشته‌اند یا به شکل دیگری به توسعه آن‌ها کمک کرده‌اند، استخراج شده‌اند، که نشان‌دهنده درک عمیق نویسندگان از این آزمون‌ها و آشنایی آنها با مشکلاتی است که در توسعه، استفاده و تفسیر آزمون با آن مواجه می‌شوند. پس از معرفی حوزه‌های اساسی روان‌سنجی، کتاب به حوزه‌هایی از آزمون می‌رود که نشان‌دهنده رویکردهای مختلف برای اندازه‌گیری سازه‌های روان‌شناختی مختلف (حافظه، زبان، عملکرد اجرایی و غیره) با تأکید بر موضوع پیچیده سوگیری فرهنگی در آزمون است. نمونه هایی از آزمون های موجود در سراسر کتاب آورده شده است. با این حال، این کتاب برای آماده کردن دانش آموزان برای بیرون رفتن و اجرای، نمره گذاری و تفسیر تست های روانشناختی خاص طراحی نشده است. در عوض، هدف این کتاب ارائه هسته اساسی دانش در مورد آزمون ها، سازه های اندازه گیری و ارزیابی، مسائل و ابزارهای کمی است. توضیح می‌دهد که چه چیزی یک آزمون روان‌شناختی را تشکیل می‌دهد، آزمون‌ها چگونه ایجاد می‌شوند، چگونه بهترین استفاده را از آن‌ها می‌کنند، و چگونه نقاط قوت و ضعف آن‌ها را ارزیابی می‌کنند. حوزه‌هایی از آزمایش را توصیف می‌کند که نشان‌دهنده رویکردهای مختلف برای اندازه‌گیری ساختارهای روان‌شناختی مختلف است. کاربردهای تست روانشناختی را برای مسائل در دادگاه توضیح می دهد. به نحوه طراحی و تحقیق نویسندگان آزمون و ناشران آزمون ها برای رسیدگی به مسائل دشوار و سخت تفاوت های فرهنگی در عملکرد آزمون و تفسیر نتایج آزمون می پردازد.


توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to psychological assessment and covers areas not typically addressed in existing test and measurements texts, such as neuropsychological assessment and the use of tests in forensics settings. The book introduces the vocabulary of the profession and the most basic mathematics of testing early as being fundamental to understanding the field. Numerous examples are drawn from tests that the authors have written or otherwise helped to develop, reflecting the authors’ deep understanding of these tests and their familiarity with problems encountered in test development, use, and interpretation. Following the introduction of the basic areas of psychometrics, the book moves to areas of testing that represent various approaches to measuring different psychological constructs (memory, language, executive function, etc.), with emphasis on the complex issue of cultural bias in testing. Examples of existing tests are given throughout the book; however, this book is not designed to prepare students to go out and administer, score, and interpret specific psychological tests. Rather, the purpose of this book is to provide the foundational core of knowledge about tests, measurement, and assessment constructs, issues, and quantitative tools. Explains what constitutes a psychological test, how tests are developed, how they are best used, and how to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses; Describes areas of testing that represent different approaches to measuring different psychological constructs; Explains applications of psychological testing to issues in the courts; Addresses how test authors and publishers design and research tests to address the difficult and demanding issues of cultural differences in test performance and interpretation of test results.
