About the Book

Presenting the proceedings of a conference held at Syracuse University in honor of S.S. Stevens, a pioneer in the scaling of sensory magnitudes and the originator of the method of magnitude estimation, this volume brings together the work of 20 authorities on the procedures of ratio scaling. These experts--psychophysicists, physiologists, and theoreticians--offer their views on whether or not psychological magnitudes can be measured and whether the judgments of psychological magnitudes constitute the basis for the construction of a ratio scale. Also discussed is the question of whether any single method could stand out as a potential standard technique for measuring psychological magnitudes.

Review :
"...a precious time capsule of a methodology and world view, which has been given the attention and opportunity to grow and mature. The subject matter and the treatments of issues and problems dealt with in this book bear fine witness and honor to Stevens' vision forty years ago." —Journal of Classification
