PSYC 505 - Personality, Social, and Emotional Assessment

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: Objective Assessment (PSYC 503 ) and Special Techniques in Assessment (PSYC 504 ).
Students will have direct experiences in assessment and evaluation with a specific focus on multiple diagnostic (e.g., DSM-5) and classification (e.g., IDEA) systems. Emphasis will be on collecting and interpreting data/information on behavior tendencies and styles with special attention to school age children and youth. Students will gain practical experience in the use and interpretation of objective measures (e.g., rating scales), direct observation, and other data collection techniques to facilitate accurate classification/diagnosis. Practical experiences will be integrated with analysis of the extant literature relating to legal/ethical issues, validity of data, and empirical findings. Focus will be on utilization of such information in a model that emphasizes data-based problem solving, planning and intervention at multiple levels across systems.
