Module 10: Self-Report Measure
Self-report measures and checklists form one part of a comprehensive behavioral assessment. There are books devoted to them, behavioral and otherwise. In this course, you have learned how measures are developed through reliability and validation studies. However, measures are constantly researched and updated and it is a psychologist’s responsibility to know this information. This assignment is solely focused on the information from the development study of the measure, not the updated information. You will need to access the library for this assignment to locate the test development study.
