The International Association of Scholarly Publishers, Editors and Reviewers (IASPER) with the SEC Registration No. CN201433407 is inviting you to participate in the Webinar on Scale Development Techniques in Social Sciences on November 15-16, 2024 through ZOOM Video Teleconferencing.

The "Webinar on Scale Development Techniques in Social Sciences" aims to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to develop robust and reliable measurement scales for use in social science research. With the increasing complexity of social phenomena, the need for valid and accurate measurement tools has become paramount.

This webinar seeks to address this need by providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of scale development techniques, including item generation, scale validation, and psychometric analysis. By mastering these techniques, researchers will be better equipped to construct measurement scales that effectively capture the nuances of the constructs under investigation, thereby enhancing the quality and credibility of their research findings.

The webinar aims to:

1. Familiarize participants with the theoretical foundations of scale development in social sciences, including the principles of construct validity and reliability.
2. Provide participants with hands-on experience in the process of scale development, including item generation, refinement, and pilot testing.
3. Enable participants to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, assess the psychometric properties of developed scales and ensure their validity and reliability.
