Principles And Practice Of Behavioral Assessment

This volume presents the characteristics and underlying assumptions of the behavioral assessment paradigm, showing how they affect procedural strategies. Divided into three sections, the volume's eleven chapters address the basic concepts, applications, and goals of behavioral assessment; the concepts and assumptions underlying behavioral assessment; and observations and inference in behavioral assessment. Hayes and O'Brien (U. of Hawaii-Manoa and Bowling Green State U., respectively) assume readers will have some familiarity with basic concepts in psychological assessment, measurement, research design, and psychometrics.
