Psychometrics: An Introduction van Richard Michael Furr is an English-language textbook that focuses on psychometrics within higher education. This fully revised Fourth Edition covers core concepts such as scales, reliability, and validity, with an emphasis on understanding and application.
The fully revised fourth edition uses a meaning-centered approach and illustrates psychometric principles with a variety of examples from behavioral science research. By focusing on the 'why' rather than only on the 'how,' the book provides insight into measurement problems and their relevance for research.
This textbook aligns with topics such as Psychological testing and measurement, Assessment, Testing & Measurement within psychology and education. It is therefore suitable for students and professionals seeking deeper insight into current, non-technical psychometric literature.
