Reviews

...this volume contains many informative chapters....there is still enough to like about this book to spend time with it and consider carefully the issues. The volume is broad in its scope and should be of interest to researchers and clinicians alike. -Contemporary Psychology Many researchers and clinicians may be hesitant to fully acknowledge the difficulties of amassing data through surveys, questionnaires, and interviews simply because the alternatives are often so unattractive. The Science of Self-Report finds its value by generating awareness of these complications. -American Scientist
