Handbook of Family Measurement Techniques (3 Volume Set)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This three-volume set is intended for researchers, clinicians, and students in the family and related fields. Volume 1 includes abstracts of 976 family measurement instruments cited in the published literature 1929-1986. Volume 2 picks up where the initial volume leaves off, with abstracts of 367 instruments published 1987-1996. Abstracts in Volume 1 and 2 are preceded by overviews, written by authorities in family studies that organize and review the instruments in each chapter. Volume 3 contains 168 of the instruments abstracted in Volume 2, reproducing them in full along with their scoring instructions. Volume 3 also provides author, instrument title, and subject indexes for all three volumes. An attempt has been made to include instruments in the Handbook that are representative of all areas of family studies, that are conceptually and psychometrically sound and that have been used to evaluate diverse populations.
"Three qualified scholars have compiled a valuable measurement guide on family-related topics. Almost 1,000 tests from the past 50 years are described, half of them from reports published since 1975. Recent entries include test title, author, availability, variables measured, description, reliability and validity, and up to four references. . . . A very useful aspect is the availability of the actual tests. . . . Highly recommended as a helpful resource for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students and researchers interested in family topics."
