It's easier than ever to track down the self-report measures/instruments/tests/surveys you need for your research in social or personality psychology. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- If you have found a sample item in someone else's article (e.g., "We are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support") using the sample item (in quotes) as a search term in Google is very likely to produce the full scale
- Check out the International Personality Item Pool--an enormous collection of scales designed to measure almost any personality trait you can imagine; internal consistency information is available for each scale, but little other psychometric information is provided
- Another good resource is the Social-personality Psychology Instrument Compendium, which contains many links to published and unpublished scales commonly used in social and personality psychology
- If you're interested in human well-being, strengths and virtues, check out what you can download from the Positive Psychology Questionnaires collection
- The CROW Scales Collection contains a variety of social/personality-psychology related scales (CROW stands for Course Resources On the Web)
- Check your college/university library to see if you can get access to books which contain full-text research questionnaires. A few examples of such books include:
- Measures of Personality and Social Psychological Attitudes
- Measures for Clinical Practice and Research: A Sourcebook
- Handbook of Sexuality-Related Measures
- Measures of Religiosity
- Marketing Scales Handbook
- A tremendous number of questionnaires are available on researchers' web sites, so even if you don't have a sample item for a particular scale, searching on the name of the scale or the author's name in Google can be helpful
