PSY332: Principles of Psychological Assessment |
This unit is concerned with the assessment of individual differences in intelligence, personality, achievement, attitudes and special abilities/disabilities through the use of appropriate psychological tests. Important principles of psychological measurement and assessment will be covered, including: standardisation, norms, reliability, test development and validation. The application of assessment techniques in the mental health clinic, industry and vocational guidance will be discussed. The practical program will emphasise test development and test administration, scoring and interpretation and will highlight current issues in the use and interpretation of tests.
Evening students will be able to obtain tapes of the lectures from the Centre for Open Education, but must attend the practicals/tutorials.
