Tests and Psychological Measures

A collection of resources to support the discovery and use of psychological tests, measures, and assessment instruments.

How To: Cite Tests and Measures

PsycTESTS has a "Source Citations" button that allows you to generate a citation for your bibliography. This is great! However, the citation it generates is often not entirely accurate. Treat this as a "first draft" of the citation and carefully check it for mistakes.

The image shows a webpage from the APA PsycNet database. It features a white background with a blue navigation bar at the top, displaying options such as "Search," "Browse," "APA Thesaurus," and more specific links, including "Recent Searches," "My List," and "My PsycNet." The primary focus is on the "Food Cue Responsivity Scale (FCRS), 2023," which is centrally displayed in bold text. Underneath, it mentions the database "APA PsycTests," and there is an option to add the item to a list, email it, or share it. There is a horizontal menu with tabs labeled "Test Profile" and "Source Citations (1)," the latter of which is circled in red.
