New Database: Mental Measurements Yearbook

We now have access to Mental Measurements Yearbook on the EBSCOhost platform. Access to it can be found on the main A-Z list of databases as well as on the list of psychology databases. This database is unique in providing detailed descriptions of tests and measures used in psychology and other social sciences. Please note that the actual tests and measures are not available in this database, just the descriptions of them.

Suggested uses:

  • need to find a measure for a specific behavior, trait, condition, disorder
  • looking to compare different measures
  • trying to identify the publisher of a specific measure so a copy of the measure can be purchased or licensed
