Psychology

This collection of information on testing programs and packages includes hundreds of instruments, commercial and otherwise. Instruments include those for psychology (including such topics as attention deficit disorder, families, illness, intelligence, pain, pathologies, personality and wellness), education (including aptitude, assistive technologies, behavior, English learning, fine arts, foreign language, guidance, academic topics, and speech and language) and business (including skills, attitudes, emotional intelligence, and team skills).

The four volumes of this ambitious reference cover, respectively, intellectual and neuro-psychological assessment, personality assessment, behavioral assessment, and industrial and organizational assessment.

This three-volume set provides a useful compendium for researchers and clinicians to access up-to-date information on existing instruments for family-related measurements. The 976 abstracts represent the development of measurement within the field over the past 50-plus years. Volume 1 comprises a reprint of the original handbook published in 1990, covering nearly 1,000 assessment tools from the 1929 to 1986 literature, and Volume 2 continues from that point until 1996. Volume 3 includes selected examples of the actual instruments.

Providing readers with cutting-edge details on multicultural instrumentation, theories, and research in the social, behavioral, and health-related fields, this Handbook offers extensive coverage of empirically-supported multicultural measurement instruments that span a wide variety of subject areas such as ethnic and racial identity, racism, disability, and gender roles. Readers learn how to differentiate among and identify appropriate research tools for a particular project. This Handbook provides clinical practitioners with a useful starting point in their search for multicultural assessment devices they can use with diverse clients to inform clinical treatment.

Concise basic information is provided on each of eighty-six instruments. Classified under thirty-two areas, the instruments range from Alienation to Teacher Attitudes/Beliefs. Presented in uniform format for quick reference and comparability.
