Editorial Reviews
Family Medicine
"Some readers prefer computational illustration while others are more comfortable with verbal explanations. Robert De Vellis provides both."Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
"Robert De Vellis has written a short primer on multi-item scales that will be of value to any researcher seeking to develop his or her own scale, to evaluate an existing scale, or just to understand more about scale development."Kathy E. Green
“Scale Development is readable, concise, and affordable. Students like the book. It presents formulas but doesn’t emphasize them but rather emphasizes utility, and the book is well-suited for an audience with applied interests.”Rene Bautista
"The key strength of this text is its ability to present the basic and necessary background on scale construction and measurement for the subsequent material, either in the context of the same first-year graduate course or in future courses during a masters and Ph D program.”Catherine Horn
“The author has a very nice writing style that makes reasonably complicated technical concepts clear to students who are accessing them for the first time.”Jonathan Feldman
“This book does an excellent job in explaining complicated topics in test construction at a level that students can understand. The use of specific examples that demonstrate key points is very effective.”René Bautista
