Title
Measurement for the Social Sciences: The COARSE Method and Why It Must Replace Psychometrics,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book proposes a revolutionary new theory of construct measurement called COARSE for the social sciences. The acronym is derived from the following key elements: construct definition; object representation; attribute classification; rater entity identification; selection of item type; enumeration and scoring. The new theory is applicable to the design of measures of constructs in: Management Marketing Information Systems Organizational Behavior Psychology Sociology COARSE is a rationally rather than empiricallybased theory and procedure. It can be used for designing measures of the most complex and also the most basic constructs that we use in social science research. COARSE is a radical alternative to the traditional empiricallybased psychometric approach, and a considerable amount of the books content is devoted to demonstrating why the psychometric approach does not produce valid measures. The book argues that the psychometric approach has resulted in many misleading findings in the social sciences and has led to erroneous acceptance or rejection of many of our main theories and hypotheses, and that the COARSE approach to measurement would correct this massive problem. The main purpose of this book is to introduce and explain COARSE construct measurement theory in a way that will be understood by all social science researchers and that can be applied to designing new, more valid measures. Featuring numerous examples, practical applications, endofchapter questions, and appendices, the book will serve as an essential resource for students and professional researcher alike.
