In honor of scholar Lee B. Sechrest, Bootzin (psychology, U. of Arizona) and McKnight (psychology, George Mason U.) compile this collection of 13 essays on measurement and methodology in psychological research, following a conference in Arizona in April of 2003. The authors of the essays--from the US, Canada, and Germany in psychology, education, medicine, and related fields--cover such topics as using formative evaluation to improve educational interventions, heroic rescue during the Holocaust, measuring social environments and coping, variations in treatment, random assignment, experimental design and data analysis, and Sechrest's legacy. Both author and subject indexes are provided, as well as a chronological bibliography of Sechrest's work. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
