During the course, Students will learn theoretical foundation of psychological measurement (in particular, the classical theory of psychological tests). They will learn how to assess the quality (reliability and validity) of psychological testing. In the practical classes, Students will have a chance to create their own psychological test to measure a selected variable and learn practical aspects of the evaluation process of the psychometric properties of the test.
After completing the course, Students should be able to critically assess the quality of research published in psychological literature in respect to what psychometric tools were used and what was their quality. They should have knowledge and skills to construct or adapt a psychological test and to assess its psychometric characteristics and also know the basics of using a psychological test.
