Measurement Schmeasurement: How Poor Measurement Practices Threaten Cumulative Psychological Science
This symposium highlights the pervasive neglect of rigorous measurement practices in numerous areas of psychological science, and the resulting problems for theory formation and statistical power. We demonstrate that a lack of attention to measurement has hindered progress in psychological science and is directly connected to replicability debates.
