Reference page
Where to find material on the test you choose to review:
- Begin with the course textbook as it contains information on specific tests.
- Next, use Google to search for the test publisher’s website (i.e., Google Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) Publisher)
- Article from peer-reviewed journal – There will be specific research studies in peer reviewed journals that researched the validity and reliability of the testing instrument your are reviewing. You want to make use of these research articles.
- Avoid this common error – Do not use a research study that simply used the test as part of their study. For example do not use an article on treating depression that used the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Instead find an article about how the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) was created or an article on the validity of the TAT.
- Another error to avoid- Do not use a random test on the Internet. You must present a published psychological test that meets industry standards in the field of psychology. Again make use of the list I provided, What Tests to Use & Where to Find Them.
