Locating Existing Measures
Researchers can find details about existing psychological measures through several different resources. Tools created specifically for scientific research are typically detailed in published journal articles and are free to use with a proper citation. Additionally, researchers can consult extensive catalogs such as the American Psychological Association's PsycTESTS database or reference books like the Mental Measurements Yearbook to locate both open-access and proprietary measurement tools.
