ReviewsRarely have I read a text with such a succinct and clear focus, and even more rarely have I seen that focus clung to with such tenacity--adding coherence and a common vernacular across chapters., This book weaves the threads of research design, psychometrics, and quantitative analysis in a way that suggests that students may actually see the 'big picture', rather than just feel like they are learning a series of unrelated concepts, principles, and designs.
