Preface
In the late 1970s, when work fi rst began on our introductory measurement text, there were only a few textbooks available on the subject of measurement in psychology. All of these books provided students with a basic grounding in psychometrics, but in our opinion none of them did a very satisfactory job of it. More specifi cally, these books all had a variety of shortcomings that really needed to addressed.
Problems with the Available Measurement Textbooks
From our perspective, the available measurement textbooks had many problems:
■ Reading those books was a challenge. The books seemed to us to be written for instructors to teach from. By contrast, we believed that such books should be written for students to learn from.
■ The authors of competing books had little or no actual experience in test administration and test interpretation. The writing in the existing books was academic enough. However, the writing betrayed a total lack of any “hands-on,” working knowledge of the subject matter. One might read the entire text, cover to cover, and never fi nd a shred of evidence that the writer had ever administered a psychological test, personally interpreted fi ndings from a test, or dealt face-to-face with an assessee (or any other interested party).
■ Coverage of certain key subject areas was nonexistent. Today it’s commonplace to cover topics such as legal/ethical issues in assessment, forensic assessment, neuropsychological assessment, and psychological assessment in business. But back in those days, any coverage of these topics in the existing measurement books was the exception rather than the rule. Cohen et al. pioneered such coverage, and Cohen et al. continued to lead the way in standard-setting coverage in other areas such as culture-related issues in assessment. As late as the previous (seventh) edition of our text, we introduced a chapter on the subject of test utility—this at a time when most other competing textbooks did not even list the terms utility or test utility in their subject index.
■ The other books contained way too much description of tests. Granted, a book on the subject of testing must contain a description of some tests. However, back then, portions of existing texts were as replete with descriptions of tests as Tests in Print.
■ The art program in those books did not adequately support what was written. What passed for an art program in the books that existed at the time was some number intensive graphs and tables, as well as some photos of test materials. Photos seemed to be inserted more to break up text than to complement it. By contrast, we believed that supplemental art could be effectively used to reinforce learning. More specifically, it could be used to stimulate the reader’s imagination and help solidify meaningful visual associations to the text.
■ Coverage of the heritage and history of the assessment enterprise was scant. In the books that existed prior to the publication of our own, little or no effort was made to convey a sense of how all of the facts being presented fi t within the grand scheme or context of the subject matter. Tests of intelligence were presented with little or no discussion of what was meant by intelligence. Tests of personality were presented with little or no discussion of what was meant by personality. By contrast, we would make an effort to place such material not only in a historical context, but in a logical context. Our appreciation for the importance of history and context is emphasized by the fact that the fi rst feature readers are greeted by as they open our book—as well as the last feature they may see before closing it— is a listing of noteworthy historical landmarks set within the front and back covers of our book.
■ Books existing at the time made implicit assumptions—not true in all cases—about the level of preparation students had coming in to a measurement course. All of the measurement textbooks that came before Cohen et al. were written based on the assumption that every student taking the course was up to speed on all of the statistical concepts that would be necessary to build on learning about psychometrics. In theory, at least, there was no reason not to assume this; statistics was a prerequisite to taking testing. In practice, a different picture emerged. It was simply not the case that all students were adequately and equally prepared to begin learning statistics-based measurement concepts. Our remedy for this problem was to include a “Statistics Refresher” chapter early on, just prior to building on students’ statistics-based knowledge.

与我过去接触过的一些同类书籍相比,这本教材的与时俱进程度令人印象深刻。我留意到其中专门辟出了章节来讨论数字时代的评估挑战,比如网络施测的伦理问题、社交媒体数据在评估中的潜在应用,以及如何应对大数据背景下的测量偏差。这些前沿话题的引入,表明编者并没有固步自封于经典的理论框架,而是积极地拥抱了心理测量学在当代社会背景下的新发展和新趋势。这种“立足经典,放眼未来”的编写理念,使这本书的价值远超了一般教材的范畴。更重要的是,书中提供的许多工具和技术指导都配有详细的步骤说明,甚至附带了相关的软件操作示例,这极大地降低了学习新技术和新方法的门槛。我感觉,如果能将书中的内容融会贯通,那么在进行任何正式的心理评估项目时,都将拥有足够的理论支撑和实践指导。
评分这本书的封面设计得相当有吸引力,色彩搭配和谐,字体选择既专业又不失现代感。我个人很喜欢这种兼顾学术严谨性和视觉舒适度的设计。拿到手的时候,感觉分量十足,这通常意味着内容的深度和广度都很扎实,而不是那种轻飘飘的入门读物。纸张质量也令人满意,印刷清晰,排版合理,长时间阅读下来眼睛不太容易疲劳。尽管我还没完全深入阅读其核心章节,但仅仅浏览目录和前言部分,就能感受到作者团队在编纂过程中的细致和匠心。他们显然对这个领域有着深刻的理解,并且努力用一种系统化、结构化的方式来呈现复杂的理论和方法。尤其让我眼前一亮的是,它似乎涵盖了大量的案例研究和实际应用场景,这对于我们这些渴望将理论付诸实践的人来说,简直是宝藏。我期待着通过它来系统地梳理我对这个学科的认知框架,并希望能从中发掘出一些前沿的视角和工具。这本书的气场很足,摆在书架上本身就是一种专业宣言。
评分阅读体验的细节决定了一本书的最终价值,而这本书在细节打磨上做得非常出色。例如,在介绍每一个核心概念时,作者总会辅以大量的“思考题”和“批判性讨论”环节。这些并非简单的知识点回顾,而是引导读者深入挖掘概念背后的假设、局限性以及不同学派之间的争论焦点。这种互动式的设计极大地激发了我的主动思考能力,让我不再是被动接受知识的容器,而是成为了一个积极的探索者。此外,书后的参考文献列表极为详尽和权威,几乎囊括了该领域里程碑式的经典文献和最新的研究成果,这为我后续进行更深入的学术探索提供了清晰的导航图。对于任何希望在心理评估领域进行研究或专业实践的人来说,这本书无疑是一个高质量的“知识锚点”,能够帮助读者建立起一个坚实、可靠的学术基石。
评分初翻阅这本厚重的书籍,我首先被其内容的广博性所震撼。它不仅仅停留在对传统心理测量学理论的阐述上,更像是对整个评估领域进行了一次全景式的扫描。从最基础的信效度概念到复杂的项目反应理论(IRT),再到最新的计算机自适应测验(CAT)技术,知识的覆盖面非常全面,几乎没有留下明显的知识盲区。我特别欣赏作者在处理那些看似枯燥的统计学基础时所采用的叙述方式——他们似乎总能找到一种巧妙的“类比”或者“现实情境”,将抽象的数学模型变得易于理解和消化。这对于我这种对纯数学理论有天然畏惧感的读者来说,无疑是巨大的福音。这本书的结构安排也极为流畅,逻辑链条清晰,章节之间的过渡自然而然,不会让人感到生硬或突兀,读起来很有“一气呵成”的流畅感,仿佛在跟随一位经验丰富的导师进行系统学习。我感觉这本书不只是本教科书,更像是一部可以随时查阅的“工具手册”。
评分这本书的整体风格散发出一种沉稳、可靠的气息,它不像某些畅销书那样追求哗众取宠的“速成秘籍”,而是脚踏实地,一步一个脚印地构建知识体系。我可以感受到作者团队在力求精确表述的同时,也在竭力避免使用过于晦涩的行话,使得即便是初次接触该领域的新手,也能在专业人士的引导下逐步深入。我特别欣赏书中对于“评估的伦理责任”这一板块的处理力度。在当前社会对心理健康和个体隐私日益关注的背景下,作者没有回避这些复杂且敏感的问题,而是以一种审慎、负责任的态度进行了深入剖析,强调了专业人员在应用测量工具时必须坚守的道德底线。这种对专业素养和职业精神的强调,远比单纯的技术讲解更有意义,它塑造的不仅仅是知识结构,更是读者的专业人格。这本书无疑是同行交流和自我提升的绝佳资源。
