FINDING PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASURES
(Note: This website is intended as a resource for Hanover College students and is a collection of possible sources for the user to track down. Please do not email the Psychology Department at Hanover for assistance with any of these measures, we don't know any more than what is listed. Also, check for copyright/use permissions for all scales, especially if you publish or present your work.)
The first place to start when looking for a way to measure a particular construct is with PSYCHINFO. However, sometimes you can’t find what you need in a simple PSYCHINFO search. You also want to check with your research advisor, as he or she may have their own "catalog" of scales. Below is a list of resources for various types of measures that may help when PSYCHINFO fails you. This is not an exhaustive list, but instead an eclectic list informed by resources the psychology faculty and students have stumbled across. Please help us update and add to this list. Email krantzj@hanover.edu with revisions or additions. |

Click here for leads on sources for measures of specific constructs (alphabetical). |
If you are having trouble finding a particular measure and you are on the Hanover College campus, you might also check the sources used in previous senior theses. See the below website for titles, abstracts and/or PowerPoint descriptions of some of the studies. The senior theses themselves should be in Science Center, Room 147 in the Psychology Library (please do not disturb if a class is in session). If you borrow a thesis, please treat it with care, make a copy and return the original immediately. The library copies are all we have. To access links to available information on past year's senior thesis topics, click here and go to the "Research Seminar" class link.
Also check websites for particular researchers/research institutions. Some will have posted on the internet their most commonly requested scales. (E.g., see U.M. Crocker lab website)
If you and your research advisor are certain you have exhausted all routes for finding a scale you know exists, you might try directly emailing the author of the scale or the researcher who seems to use it the most. Alternatively, your advisor might know of an email listserv (a group of psychologists) to turn to.
FINALLY – if you simply can’t find a scale to measure just what you want to measure – don’t be afraid to make your own scale. Just be sure to use what you have learned or will be learning in Research Methods class and be sure to discuss the development and use of this scale with your research advisor.
