Norms for Test Construction

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Measures of Positive Psychology

Abstract

In the subsequent chapters, different scales have been developed and validated on Indian population. The current chapter aims to give an overview of various norms that were followed while constructing the scales. In literature, several methods for scale development and validation exist however, in this chapter only those methods are discussed more, which have been used in the later chapters. The current chapter gives an overview of definition of psychological test, steps of test construction, norms for sample size, preliminary data analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, etc.
