È ampiamente dimostrato che l'autostima costituisce un fattore fondamentale sia per il benessere generale della persona sia per la sua efficacia nei diversi ambiti di vita. Di conseguenza, nel corso del tempo, questo costrutto ha ricevuto una sempre maggiore attenzione da parte della ricerca e delle diverse figure coinvolte nell'educazione. Come misurare in modo preciso l'autostima nella fascia d'età tra i 9 e i 19 anni? Il TMA, Test di valutazione Multidimensionale dell'Autostima, consente di valutare l'autostima nelle sue dimensioni specifiche, corrispondenti alle principali aree di esperienza: interpersonale, di competenza di controllo dell'ambiente, emozionale, scolastica, familiare, corporea. Tali ambiti sono legati fra loro e formano l'autostima globale, intesa come un giudizio complessivo sul proprio valore. Cosa trovi in questo kit?

Each set in the series--this is the ninth--provides graduate students, researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in psychology and allied behavioral fields with a broad and deep reference on some aspect of the discipline and profession. The three volumes cover testing and assessment respectively in industrial and organizational psychology, in clinical and counseling psychology, and in school psychology and education. The first volume also considers test theory, and the third volume contains the index for the three volumes, which are paged separately. The topics include applying the uni-dimensional item response theory model to psychological data, objective personality testing, stereotype threats in workplace assessments, legal issues in clinical and counseling testing and assessment, assessing self-efficacy, assessment in marriage and family counseling, individual assessment of academic achievement, considerations for achievement testing of students with individual needs, and adapting tests for use in other languages and cultures.
