Two Psychologists Four Beers

Episode 32: Measurement Schmeasurement (with Jessica Flake)

Listen Later

Jessica Flake joins Mickey and Yoel to talk measurement. What is it, how do you do it well, and do social psychologists care about it? What does measurement theory tell us about the validity of standardized tests like the GRE? Jessica also talks about how she went from high-school dropout to professor at McGill.

Bonus: what the hell is Kentucky Gentleman?

Special Guest: Jessica Flake.
