Chapter 2 Personality Assessment, Measurement, and Research Design Chapter Overview This chapter provides students with an introduction to the sources of personality data, research designs in personality, and how personality measures are evaluated. The authors first address the four primary sources of data collected by personality psychologists. These are self-report data Sdata , observer-report data O-data , test-data T-data , and life-outcome data L-data. The authors then address the conditions where there exists links among the different sources of data and also the conditions where there is no linkage among them. Because personality data are fallible, the authors recommend collecting data from more than one data source. Results that transcend data sources are more powerful. The authors then discuss how personality measures are evaluated.
