MATERIALS FOR THE TESTING,
SCORING, AND INTERPRETATION OF
THE PSYCHAP INVENTORY (ALL FORMS)
THE PSYCHAP INVENTORY COMES IN TWO SETS OF EQUIVALENT FORMS (FORMS A & B, AND FORMS C & D).
ASSUMING YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE INVENTORY AND ITS PSYCHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS, THE MATERIALS FOR ITS USE ARE LINKED BELOW.
IF YOU WANT MORE BACKGROUND ON THE INVENTORY, YOU'LL NEED TO START BY OBTAINING DR. FORDYCE'S ARTICLE ON THE PSYCHAP INVENTORY, WHICH ALSO SERVES AS ITS TEST MANUAL.
FORMS A & B ARE MORE GENERAL FORMS FOR USE WITH "AVERAGE" POPULATIONS. EITHER FORM A OR B CAN BE USED INDEPENDENTLY FOR A ONE-SHOT, BASIC HAPPINESS ASSESSMENT, OR BOTH CAN BE USED IN EITHER ORDER TO ASSESS PRE- AND POST-TEST CHANGES OVER TIME.
FORMS C & D WERE WRITTEN TO PROVIDE GREATER DISCRIMINATION AMONG HAPPIER RESPONDENTS FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MORE "TOP END" REFINEMENTS IN THEIR TESTINGS. EITHER FORM C OR D CAN BE USED INDEPENDENTLY FOR A ONE-SHOT, BASIC HAPPINESS ASSESSMENT, OR BOTH CAN BE USED IN EITHER ORDER TO ASSESS PRE- AND POST-TEST CHANGES OVER TIME.
BELOW ARE THE LINKS FOR MATERIALS FOR EACH FORM OF THE INVENTORY (YOU MIGHT WANT TO BOOKMARK THIS PAGE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD MATERIALS FOR MORE THAN ONE FORM) AND A LINK TO SOME TECHNICAL PAGES WHICH YOU MIGHT WISH TO EXAMINE.
