Since the 19th century, psychometrics has found false hope in reconstructions of thermometry’s history, as if the former’s failure to investigate whether psycho...

Real wisdom is about a balance between thoughtful reasoning, social understanding and emotional awareness.

Join our two-day online workshop on Generalizability Theory (G theory) for PhD students, academics and professional researchers, taught by George Michaelides (Norwich Business School) and Duncan Jackson (King’s Business School): this hands-on RStudio course combines rigorous conceptual foundations with practical implementation—Day 1 covers univariate G theory and Frequentist analysis with lme4, Day 2 introduces Bayesian G theory with brms—enabling you to decompose variance components, compute and interpret G and Phi coefficients, design robust crossed/nested studies, and apply Bayesian methods (priors, sensitivity, posterior summaries and diagnostics) to improve measurement precision. Familiarity with R and basic multilevel/random effects models is required. Delivered live via Zoom with recordings, code and materials available for 30 days plus a monitored Q&A forum; participants receive a certificate of completion (ECTS equivalent where shown). Find out more and enroll to build immediately usable skills for your research. #BayesianStatistics #Education #HumanResourceManagement #Management #Medicine #Psychology #Psychometrics #DataScience #Statistics #Biostatistics #R #RStudio #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Curious what the Core Values Index (CVI) is and why so many people call it the most accurate personality test they’ve ever taken? This video gives you a clear, practical introduction. In this video,…

Join Professor Dev Dalal (University at Albany) for a one‑day online workshop designed for PhD students, academics, and professional researchers in the social and health sciences who work with latent variables: learn to ground measurement in clear construct theory and definition, build testable nomological networks, and translate definitions into items, tasks, and protocols that support rigorous validation. Across four integrated sessions—construct theory, writing construct definitions, nomological network building, and measurement elements—you’ll get conceptual lectures, guided demonstrations, and hands‑on critique to practice writing precise construct definitions, designing validation studies, and choosing appropriate psychometric analyses (factor analysis, IRT basics, reliability, model fit) that strengthen dissertations, grant proposals, and manuscripts. The seminar is livestreamed via Zoom, includes recordings and an expert‑moderated Q&A forum available for 30 days after the event, and awards a certificate of completion (ECTS equivalent where shown). #Management #Psychometrics #ResearchMethods #SocialSciences #SurveyDesign #Statistics #Education #SocialTheory #Psychology #Research #ResearchTraining #Instats

Via AI and LLMs we can devise new psychometrics to measure mental health across society in a manner that we couldn’t do previously. getty In today’s column, I examine the use of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) as psychometric instruments that can boost how we gauge the status of human mental health, especially when decisively used at scale. Here’s the deal. Conventional means of measuring mental health on a large-scale basis tend to rely on relatively simplistic instruments such as static surveys that ask multiple-choice pre-limited questions. The beauty of generative AI is that you can have the
