Synopsis

Measurement in social science research has only recently begun to command attention. With a shift in attitudes towards causal modelling and the use of parametric statistics, interest in formal measurement models has grown. Bohrnstedt and Borgatta aim to stimulate further theoretical research into sociological measurement, and to provide examples of how these techniques can be applied in research. This timely compilation will benefit those who are interested in quantitative methods, particularly researchers, educators, and advanced students in the social sciences.
