Methodological Advances in the Validation of Inventory Items, Scales, Profiles and Interpretations

Thorne, Frederick C.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 34, 2, 283-301, Apr 78

Reports on a series of methodological refinements used in developing a systematic rationale for the construction, standardization and interpretation of the Personal Health Survey (PHS), a 200-item questionnaire designed to screen pathological functioning in the psychophysiological support systems that underlie physical and mental health. The PHS is one of the subtests of the Integration Level Test Series (ILTS), which measures a hierarchy of levels of factors that organize integration. (Author)
