Más información sobre el libro

Traditional self-report tests can be unreliable for assessing personality, attitudes, affect, and motivation. This volume in the Psychological Assessment - Science and Practice series explores alternative assessment methods beyond self-reporting. Leading scholars from various countries discuss the theoretical foundations and psychometric properties of these alternatives, including behavior-based assessments, observational methods, innovative computerized procedures, indirect assessments, projective techniques, and narrative reports. The volume also examines the validity and practical applications of these methods across diverse fields such as health, forensic, clinical, and consumer psychology. Each installment in this series presents cutting-edge developments in psychological assessment, focusing on theory, research, and practical applications. Edited by experts in their respective fields, the series addresses critical issues and features both established and novel assessment tools in an accessible manner. It serves as an essential educational resource for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners in the field. The series is supported by the European Association of Psychological Assessment (EAPA).
