Technical Problems in Inventory Construction for the Objectification of Psychological States.

Thorne, Frederick C.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v36 n1 p127-36 Jan 1980

The measurement of psychological states requires an entirely different technology from the classical personality inventory assessments of psychological traits. Differences in the requirements of state v trait measurement are discussed. Problems of naming, labelling, describing, defining, and interpretation are discussed in relation to psychological theory.
