An examination of threats to the validity of casual inferences from randomised experiments, quasi-experiments and passive observational studies, with particular reference to field studies and program evaluations. Statistical power analysis, the analysis of data from non-equivalent control group designs, interrupted time series analysis, and structural modelling.

A theoretical basis, background information and practical skills in methods of assessment typically used in clinical, forensic, and organisational psychology. Topics will include: the assessment of intelligence in adults and children, assessment of adult abilities, vocational interests, and personality, use of behavioural/structured interviewing, computerised test administration and expert scoring systems, assessment centres, special purpose testing, preparation of assessment reports, the provision of feedback to clients and subjects, and ethical, legal and professional issues.

The psychometric foundations of psychological assessment. Classical and modern test theory. Item analysis and item response theory. Differential change measurement. Single case profile analysis, with applications to the WAIS-R and WISC-3. Applications of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to test construction and evaluation. Clinical and statistical prediction. Decision theoretic approaches to testing and assessment. The use of intraclass correlations to evaluate the reliability of ratings and other assessment methods.
