The Complementarity of Psychometrics and the Representational Theory of Measurement.
Psychometrics and the representational theory of measurement (RTM) are widely used in social scientific measurement. They are currently pursued largely in isolation from one another. I argue that despite their separation in practice, RTM and psychometrics are complementary approaches, because they c...

They are currently pursued largely in isolation from one another. I argue that despite their separation in practice, RTM and psychometrics are complementary approaches, because they can contribute in complementary ways to the establishment of what I argue is a crucial measurement property, namely, representational interpretability. Because RTM and psychometrics are complementary in the establishment of representational interpretability, the current separation of measurement approaches is unfounded. 1 Introduction 2 Two Approaches to Measurement 2.1 Representational theory of measurement 2.2 Psychometrics 2.3 Representational interpretability 3 Complementarity, Conceptually 3.1 Representational theory of measurement: Conditions of representational interpretability 3.2 Psychometrics: Evidence of representational interpretability 4 Complementarity in Action 4.1 What is the Rasch model? 4.2 Rasch and conjoint measurement 5 Conclusion: Critics and Fruits of Complementarity pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2020 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
