?:abstract
  • Measurement instruments are the foundation for empirical research in the social sciences. Instruments are necessary for measuring latent constructs such as cognitive and non-cognitive skills in the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), personality characteristics in studies such as the International Social Survey Program (ISSP), or attitudes in international studies such as the European Social Survey (ESS). Measurement instruments also allow researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to describe individuals, groups, or societies, to assess patients in clinical settings, or to select, classify, or assist in the remediation of workers and students. Many policy, research, and applied decisions depend on measurement instruments and the quality of these decisions depends on the quality of the instruments, which is closely entwined with the scale development process (Ziegler, 2014). The aim of this editorial is to describe challenges and new developments in scale construction and discuss how they can facilitate the quality of measurement instruments. (xsd:string)
