| Course Description |
This course is an introduction to the theory of psychological testing and assessment. The history, principles, and current methods of psychological assessment will be reviewed with a focus on their applied use in counseling and/or psychological practice. Students will be exposed to selected psychological instruments to facilitate understanding of concepts such as basic relevant statistics, reliability, validity, and use of norms. The role of the psychological testing (construction, administration, and interpretation) will be reviewed, along with discussion of ethical practice.

At various points in the semester, students will be given brief assignments designed to reinforce class content (e.g., critique of online tests, personality profile of a famous person). Details of these assignments will be available via the Blackboard website and will be discussed in class.
Research Projects
Students will construct and describe an appropriate assessment process for a chosen population of interest (children, young adults, adults, elderly) or desired clinical issue (e.g., depression, emotion regulation, positive psychology constructs, dating violence, dating infidelity). They will choose at least one psychological test instrument and provide information on its reliability and validity and how they will incorporate this instrument in the assessment process. Details of these assignments will be available via the Blackboard website and will be discussed in class.
