Prerequisites: The content of this course builds upon previous coursework in the
bachelor of psychology. As such, it is assumed that basic concepts
(e.g., reliability, validity, measurement error, test validation) are
understood by students who enroll in this course. If you do not have
much experience with statistics and methods, ensure that you have
studied the following textbook before starting the course: Furr, R. M.
(2011). Scale construction and psychometrics for social and personality
psychology. London: SAGE.
DESCRIPTION
In the course you will learn a theory behind measurement instruments, so
that you know how to apply tests and questionnaires in research and
assessment, especially, in recruitment and personnel selection. You will
learn to understand personnel selection methods, to check whether
instruments are reliable, and to check whether those instruments measure
what they are supposed to measure. You will learn what kinds of
instruments are used in assessment and research and what requirements
measurement instruments need to satisfy (e.g., by professional
associations). In work groups, you will practice with formulas, analyze
the reliability, validity, utility, and adverse impact of measurement
instruments, and you will jointly develop an instrument yourself and
test it in organizational context.
