SPSY 6334 - Psychometrics and Clinical Research

Credit(s): 3

This advanced course exposes doctoral-level school psychology students to methods by which psychologists strive to conceptualize human behavior and individual differences in terms such as skills, aptitudes, attitudes, values, personality and intelligence. The course covers epistemological questions considering a number of psychometric theories that will help us to understand the underpinnings of psychological measurement and psychological therapies. The course will examine the concepts of reliability and validity with an eye towards the implications of these constructs to understanding principles of scale development and applications of assessment in clinical and research contexts.
