The following links go to scientifically valid and reliable scales and assessments or useful inventories we have prepared for you in an easy to take online format. These are available due to your status as a student with UA. If you are unsure how to properly cite surveys in APA, Dr. Brown has a helpful blog post on the topic (Brown, 2016).
(If you want to use any of these for other purposes, please check with your professor first as some are not approved for anything but educational use).
The UA offers e-books which have over 100 reliable and valid measures you can use! This is a small sample of texts they have focused on selection. They have many, many others related to our course topics. Many of them are available as ebooks you can read immediately on your computer. Contact a librarian if you need help finding them.
