Title: THEORY AND TECHNIQUES OF ASSESSMENT.
Authors: Butler, John M., Fiske, Donald W.
Source: Annual Review of Psychology. 1955, Vol. 6 Issue 1, p327-356. 30p.
Subjects: Behavioral assessment, Human behavior, Psychodiagnostics, Behavior analysts, Psychological techniques, Individuality
Abstract: The article reports that the problem common to all approaches to behavioral assessment is the problem of categorizing individuals for the purpose of making differential predictions of behavior. The problem of prediction is one that is common to all psychologists. The assessment involves the relationship between two samples of behavior selected rather arbitrarily from the total course of the individual's life. Assessment therefore involves prediction in the service of nonscientific goals although the assessment process may employ scientific methods and may yield scientific knowledge.
