Review of 'Research problems and techniques'

Review of 'Research problems and techniques' Review of "Research problems and techniques" edited by Robert L. Thorndike (1947; Report No. 3 of the Army Air Forces Aviation Psychology Program). Of the series of AAF research reports, Thorndike's volume on problems and methods may hold the widest interest for nonmilitary psychologists. It presents a summary account and a critical evaluation of each principal area involved in research on the selection and classification of personnel. Topics include job analysis, invention and refinement of test forms, determining criteria, validity of single tests, composite aptitude scores, reliability determination, correlational analysis, and control of error variance. The book is not only a report of a program, but a potentially valuable reference book and textbook on research methods. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology American Psychological Association

Abstract

Review of "Research problems and techniques" edited by Robert L. Thorndike (1947; Report No. 3 of the Army Air Forces Aviation Psychology Program). Of the series of AAF research reports, Thorndike's volume on problems and methods may hold the widest interest for nonmilitary psychologists. It presents a summary account and a critical evaluation of each principal area involved in research on the selection and classification of personnel. Topics include job analysis, invention and refinement of test forms, determining criteria, validity of single tests, composite aptitude scores, reliability determination, correlational analysis, and control of error variance. The book is not only a report of a program, but a potentially valuable reference book and textbook on research methods.
