Abstract	After briefly highlighting basic principles, practices, and recommendations, this volume provides guidance and background helping social/personality psychologists construct, use, evaluate, and interpret psychological measures. The first section describes steps in the construction of psychometrically-sound scales, it introduces basic psychometric properties such as dimensionality, reliability, and validity, and it examines potential threats to psychometric quality. The second section introduces special topics and advanced psychometric perspectives, focussing on the use of difference scores, and on the logic and use of Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Generalizability Theory, and Item Response Theory as advanced psychometric perspectives. These advanced perspectives differ in important ways from the traditional psychometric perspective with which most readers might be familiar. (DIPF/Orig.).
