Types of Measures (Chapter 3): Discuss the three types of measures used in behavioral research: observational, physiological, and self-report measures. What are the strengths and limitations of each?
Reliability and Validity (Chapter 3): Explore how reliability and validity affect the usefulness of a research measure. Can you think of examples where poor measure reliability might significantly impact research outcomes?
Approaches to Psychological Measurement (Chapter 4): Leary describes four general approaches to measurement—observational, physiological, self-report, and archival. Discuss how these methods can be integrated into a single study.
