Course Description:
This seminar will cover psychological assessment; or measurement of psychological constructs. First, the seminar will approach psychological assessment conceptually (e.g., What is psychological assessment? What makes assessment reliable and valid? What makes assessment biased? How can we use and how should we best not use psychological assessment?). Second, the seminar will examine different methods of assessment (e.g., surveys, interviews, tests, observations) and how these can be applied. Finally, the seminar will look at psychological assessment in various application areas, including but not limited to clinical psychology, science, education, and industry.
