Scale Development by Robert F Devellis

Scale Development by Robert F Devellis

A best-seller in its previous editions, Scale Development: Theory and Applications, Third Edition has been extensively updated and revised to address changes in the field and topics that have grown in importance. Widely adopted for graduate courses in departments such as Psychology, Public Health, Marketing, Nursing, and Education, this book will prove beneficial to applied researchers across the social sciences.

“Scale Development is readable, concise, and affordableStudents like the book. It presents formulas but doesn’t emphasize them but rather emphasizes utility, and the book is well-suited for an audience with applied interests.” -- Kathy E. Green
"The key strength of this text is its ability to present the basic and necessary background on scale construction and measurement for the subsequent material, either in the context of the same first-year graduate course or in future courses during a masters and PhD program.” -- René Bautista
“The author has a very nice writing style that makes reasonably complicated technical concepts clear to students who are accessing them for the first time.” -- Catherine Horn
“This book does an excellent job in explaining complicated topics in test construction at a level that students can understand. The use of specific examples that demonstrate key points is very effective.” -- Jonathan Feldman
