This handbook is distinguished from other texts by its greater comprehensiveness and depth of coverage including topics such as measurement models, the role of cognitive psychology, surveying networks, and cross-national/cross-cultural surveys. Timely and relevant it includes materials that are only now becoming highly influential topics.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesAuthor: James D.
