Instruments We Have Developed
Colleagues and I have developed a number of instruments to assess self-reported and other-reported psychological constructs. Each has been published in the literature and has been used in research. Each is copyrighted, but I will waive all fees and allow free use in return for sharing of results. References and updated information are provided. You can request any of my papers via e-mail.
