"This third edition will maintain the book's status as a landmark text. The updated literature and latest statistical techniques provide a rich source of information that is valuable as a textbook and a reference. The book is useful for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, not to mention scholars and researchers."

Timothy Judge

I like the newer data and analytic techniques such as SEM, IRT, and HLM...The overall organization of the book is a great feature. The chapters are logically organized and provide the reader with a clear sense of what the important topics are, why they are important, and where the field may head in the future."
