For your psychometrics paper, you are being asked to select an instrument and discuss the psychometric evidence that would you lead you feel confident using the measure in a specific population. You will evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument and discuss what additional evidence is needed to firmly establish the psychometric properties of this measure.

Review the evidence in the literature (the development paper and at least one other paper) and describe 1) how the measure was developed/the authors’ methods for test construction (see Boateng et al., 2003) and 2) the reliability and validity of the measure (review Groth-Marnat and Wright pp. 10-32). You can select one of these measures:

The paper should be formatted in APA style and be 3-5 double spaced pages (no cover page needed; please do provide a references page). You should describe the instrument and the construct being measured; provide a summary of the development methods; describe the reliability and validity of the measure; describe what additional evidence you would need, if any, to firmly establish the psychometric properties of the measure; and provide your final verdict of whether you would feel confident using this measure.
