Course objectives
The purpose of this workshop is to acquire some basic knowledge and practical skills in the design of questionnaire scales assessing an underlying psychological construct (e.g., attitudes or personality factors). This practical workshop will cover scale construction and the evaluation of psychometric properties, an overview of the properties of different scales, effects of questionnaire administration, question wording and question order effects. During the workshop students will work in small groups to construct their own questionnaire scale, collect and enter data into SPSS, analyze and evaluate their measurement scale. At the end of the workshop students should be able to critically evaluate questionnaire scales reported in the literature. Students should also be able to construct their own questionnaires adhering to common quality criteria.
