Al in de Oudheid zijn er voorbeelden van testonderzoek bekend. Zo beoordeelde vierduizend jaar geleden de keizer van China zijn dienaren met een soort van vorderingentoets. Op basis hiervan volgde promotie of ontslag. Pas aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw hebben tests een meer wetenschappelijke aandacht gekregen en is testonderzoek tot bloei gekomen.Dit boek, dat vooral een studieboek is, behandelt in het bijzonder de zaken op het gebied van de testtheorie die algemeen geaccepteerd zijn. Het accent ligt hierbij op gevestigde methoden en procedures. Daarbij wordt ernaar gestreefd diepgang aan helderheid te koppelen.Helderheid staat voorop in deze vierde, ingrijpend gewijzigde editie, allereerst op het gebied van het taalgebruik. Waar nodig zijn is de formulering zakelijker en bondiger gemaakt. Ingewikkelde begrippen en procedures worden meer nog dan in eerdere edities uitgelegd en verhelderd met concrete voorbeelden. Elk hoofdstuk sluit af met vragen en opdrachten, die niet alleen de beheersing van de stof toetsen, maar vooral nieuwe inzichten te ontwikkelen. Nieuw is ook de bijlage met uitleg over de belangrijkste statistische begrippen.Dit boek maakt studenten vertrouwd met de logica, de procedures en de belangrijkste begrippen van de testtheorie.

Designed to wean Master's and doctorate-level students as well as new researchers from their comfort zones, the book challenges readers to engage in multi-method approaches to answering multidisciplinary questions. The result is a step-by-step framework for producing well-organized, credible papers based on rigorous, error-free data.  The text begins with a brief grounding in the intellectual attitude and logical stance that underlie good research and how they relate to steps such as refining a topic, creating workable models and building the right amount of complexity. Accessible examples from psychology and business help readers grasp the fine points of observations, interviewing, simulations, interpreting and finalizing data and presenting results. Fleshed out with figures, tables, key terms, tips, and questions, this book acts as both a friendly lecturer and a multilevel reality check.

This accessible, highly interactive book presents a transformative approach to communication in leadership to meet workplace challenges at both local and global levels. Informed by neuroscience, psychology, as well as leadership science, it explains how integrating and properly balancing two key focal points of management—the tasks at hand and the concerns of others and self—can facilitate decision-making, partnering with diverse colleagues, and handling of crises and conflicts. Case examples, a self-test, friendly calls for reflection, and practical exercises provide readers with varied opportunities to assess, support, and evoke their readiness to apply these real-world concepts to their own style and preferences. Together, these chapters demonstrate the best outcomes of collaborative communication: greater effectiveness, deeper empathy with improved emotional fulfillment, and lasting positive change. Included in the coverage: · As a manager, can I be human? Using the two-agenda approach for more effective—and humane—management. · Being and becoming a person-centered leader and manager in a crisis environment. · Methods for transforming communication: dialogue. · Open Case: A new setting for problem-solving in teams. · Integrating the two agendas in agile management. · Tasks and people: what neuroscience reveals about managing both more effectively. · Transforming communication in multicultural contexts for better understanding across cultures. As a skill-building resource, Transforming Communication in Leadership and Teamwork offers particular value: · to diverse business professionals, including managers, leaders, and team members seeking to become more effective · business consultants and coaches working with people in executive positions and/or teams · leaders and members of multi-national teams · executives, decision makers and organizational developers · instructors and students of courses on effective communication, social and professional skills, human resources, communication and digital media, leadership, teamwork, and related subjects. .

Since the debut of the original edition, the Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing has been an invaluable aid to students and professionals performing psychological assessments. The new Fourth Edition continues in that tradition, taking the reader from client referral to finished report, demonstrating how to synthesize details of personality and pathology into a document that is focused, coherent, and clinically meaningful. As with the previous editions, authors Kellerman and Burry offer a systematic framework for choosing the most relevant material from seemingly overwhelming amounts of test data. Separate chapters offer clear rationales for each component of the report (e.g., cognitive functioning, interpersonal behavior, control mechanisms), and how they relate to one another. Helpful summaries follow each chapter, and tables and charts provide salient facts and findings at a glance. Features of the updated Fourth Edition: A clear blueprint for writing effective, clinically integrative psychological reports. Emerging areas of interest in testing, including ethnic and language issues. Guidelines for assessing strengths and potential as well as pathology. Review of current diagnostic nomenclature, with discussion of evolving DSM categories and recognized clinical entities outside the DSM system. Brand-new sections on the major standardized intelligence tests. Expanded chapter devoted to testing counselors, teachers and parents. Help for writing–anxiety: overcoming blocks, getting past role conflicts, resisting speculation, and more. The Handbook makes an elegant student resource by showing how reports can reflect not just the subject’s individuality, but the tester’s as well. All professionals who engage in psychological assessment will find it an invaluable resource as well.
