measurement tools

For this week’s Assignment you will evaluate the assessment and measurement tools from a study or case scenario. Identify an article in the past (5 years) that is related to an ethical psychological assessment instrument or tool (See attached). The article should summarize the test designer’s assessment techniques, ethical violation, and author’s ability to address or remedy the issues.

Write an essay, no fewer than seven pages in length, incorporating the following elements based on your findings:

Discuss the study or case scenario and applicable qualities that relate to the APA ethical codes.

Write your own critical review on the imperfections in this article and your analysis on how to address the problems noted.

Take an affirmative position on whether or not these ethical challenges affect the validity of the study or case, and if there are additional test biases noted.

Along with the text, use a minimum of three scholarly articles to support your critic. One of your supporting articles should be the APA Ethical Codes accessible through the following Library links.

Revision of Ethical Standard 3.04 of the “Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct” (2002, as Amended 2010). (2016). American Psychologist, 71(9), 900. doi:10.1037/amp0000102.
