Developing Questions when the Perfect Instrument Is Not Available
Developing Questions when the Perfect Instrument Is Not Available
This chapter addresses an issue common to all projects, and typically dealt with at two points: proposal development and project initiation. A consistent issue is finding, adapting, and gathering assorted measures to best tap a research project's goals. Often, measures need to be adapted to the needs or limitations of particular subject populations, or truncated to fit a reasonable time limitation for the interview. The chapter details principles of measurement, how to evaluate and select instruments, the challenges of developing a new instrument, and issues in the stages of instrument development.
