This is the updated edition of the successful guide to measuring and assessing human behaviour within a complex multi-cultural environment. It explains the main concepts of assessment, explains the types of measures that are used to assess human behaviour and examines how such measures are to be used. It investigates how measures are developed and adapted so that they are culturally appropriate and free of bias. This book remains the only good South African text on the topic, which explains the fact that it has become entrenched in Psychology departments across the country.
Cheryl Foxcroft is Professor of Psychology and Interim Senior Director of the Higher Education Access and Development Services at Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. Gert Roodt is Professor in the Human Resource Management Department, Auckland Park, Kingsway, University of Johannesburg.
