The book will be designed primarily for graduate students (or advanced undergraduates) who are learning psychometrics, as well as professionals in the field who need a reference for use in their practice. We would assume that users have some basic knowledge of using SPSS to read data and conduct basic analyses (e.g., descriptive statistics, frequency distributions). In addition, the reader should be familiar with basic statistical concepts such as descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, median, variance, standard deviation), percentiles and the rudiments of hypothesis testing. They should also have a passing familiarity with issues in psychometrics such as reliability, validity and test/survey scoring. We will not assume any more than basic familiarity with these issues, and will devote a portion of each chapter (as well as the entire first chapter) to reviewing many of these basic ideas for those not familiar with them. We envision the book as being useful either as a primary text for a course on applied measurement where SPSS is the main platform for instruction, or as a supplement to a more theoretical text. We also anticipate that readers working in government agencies responsible for testing and measurement issues at the local, state and national levels, and private testing, survey and market research companies, as well as faculty members needing a practical resource for psychometric practice will serve as a market for the book. In short, the readership would include graduate students, faculty members, data analysts and psychometricians responsible for analysis of survey response data, as well as educational and psychological assessments. The goal of the book is to provide readers with the tools necessary for assessing the psychometric qualities of educational and psychological measures as well as surveys and questionnaires. Each chapter will cover an issue pertinent to psychometric and measurement practice, with an emphasis on application. Topics will be briefly discussed from a theoretical/technical perspective in order to provide the reader with the background necessary to correctly use and interpret the statistical analyses that will be presented subsequently. Readers will then be presented with examples illustrating a particular concept (e.g., reliability). These examples will include a discussion of the particular analysis, along with the SPSS code necessary to conduct them. The resulting output will then be discussed in detail, focusing on the interpretation of the results. Finally, examples of how these results might be written up will also be included in the text. It is hoped that this mixture of theory with examples of actual practice will serve the reader both as a pedagogical tool and as a reference work. To our knowledge, no book outlining psychometric practice using commonly available software such as SPSS currently exists. Given that many practitioners in academia, government and private industry use SPSS for statistical analyses of testing data, we believe that our book will fill an important niche in the market. It will contain very practical information regarding how to conduct a wide variety of psychometric analyses, along with tips on interpretation of results and the appropriate format for reporting these results. We believe that it will prove useful to individuals in educational measurement, psychometrics, and survey and market research. Our text will add to the literature by providing users with a single reference containing the major ideas in applied psychometrics with instructions and examples for conducting the analyses in SPSS. In addition, we will provide original macros for estimating a variety of statistics and conducting analyses common in educational and psychological measurement.

This volume presents recent advances in identity theory, which is a prominent and active theory in sociological social psychology and a versatile framework for explaining the sources of identities, how they develop, how they operate in situations and groups, and how they influence behavior and well-being. The volume is organized around new theoretical developments, measurement techniques, and research in the field. Theoretical developments covered in the volume sharpen, reframe, and expand fundamental concepts in identity theory. State-of-the-art techniques for measuring identities assess, refine, and update existing measures. New research in the volume addresses both individual processes and outcomes and group processes and outcomes. The chapters together showcase the wide applicability of identity theory to a host of identities, such as the religious, gender, sexual, physical attractiveness, racial/ethnic, parent, student, partisan, and group member identities. The volume editors introduce identity theory and provide an overview of the chapters. In the last chapter, they describe how this volume points to future directions for advancing theory, measurement, and research in identity theory. This volume is of interest to a wider readership, including sociological social psychologists, sociologists, and scholars in other disciplines (psychology, political science, economics, education) whose research or teaching deals with identities. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in identity research will also find this book accessible. Finally, this is for discerning laypersons who are interested in how identities influence and shape their lives and affect their well-being.

Sanayi toplumundan bilgi toplumuna geçişte önem kazanan olgulardan biri de girişimciliktir. Bu süreç içerisinde girişimcilik, insanın düşünsel emeğinin ekonomik değere dönüşmesi olarak ifade edilmekte ve üretim faktörleri arasında yer almaktadır. Yeni iş fikirlerinin hayata geçirilmesi ve kurulacak olan yeni işletmeler bir ekonominin büyüyebilmesinin öncelikli koşuludur. Bu nedenle toplumda girişimci kişilerin sayısının arttırılması ve bu kişilerin eğitilmesi ülkelerin öncelikleri arasında olmalıdır. Girişimcilik, son yıllarda önemli gelişmeler göstermektedir. Ülkemizin genç bir nüfusa sahip olması, yeni iş alanlarının açılmasını ve yeni iş yapma modellerine dayalı girişimcilik faaliyetlerinin gelişmesini yaygınlaştırmaktadır. Özellikle bilgi toplumlarının temel uğraş alanlarından olan “bilişim sektörü” ülkemizin en canlı iş yapma alanını oluşturmaktadır. Üretim yöntemi her ne olursa olsun üretimin en temel unsurunun insan olması, girişimci insan tipinin önemini artırmaktadır. Günümüzde insan faktörünün fiziksel gücü yerine, fikir gücü (iş fikri geliştirme ve iş planı yapma yeteneği) önem taşımaya başlamıştır. Bu durum, eğitimin nitelikli iş gücü sağlamadaki önemini artırmaktadır. Ülkemizde girişimciliğin geliştirilmesinde eğitimin yanında önemli olan bir diğer faktör ise, seminer ve sertifika programlarıyla girişimciliğin özendirilmesini sağlayacak mekanizmaların geliştirilmesidir.
