Psychology Resources: Sources for Psychological Measures

This page will help you locate psychological measures (tests, scales, inventories, etc.) and reviews and other information about the measures. Individual measures may sometimes be found in journal articles or obtained from commercial publishers, document delivery services or from their authors. Some are reprinted in part or in full in books.

Testing materials commonly used in clinical practice are available in the Testing Materials Library of the Ferkauf School, located in the C Level of the Rousso Building. Circulation may be limited to Ferkauf students. Contact the Parnes Psychology Clinic of Ferkauf at 718-430-3852 for more information.

• focuses primarily on unpublished tests, those developed by researchers but not made commercially available
• includes the actual test instrument for most of the tests included
• includes information about commercially available tests indexed by APA with links to purchase the instrument from the publisher

Slide 20 demonstrates how the PsycInfo Advanced Fields utilize the 'Test & Measures' field during a search. It also shows where this field is incorporated in the citation of an article from the search results.

Limiting results to Primary Source should find only those citations to articles that contain the test, including when it is appended to a journal article that describes a study using the test. Original source where instrument was published.
