- Title
MERANIE V PSYCHOLÓGII.
- Authors
Dočkal, Vladimír
- Abstract
The author compares the concept of measurement as applied in psychology with the concept of measurement in natural sciences represented by entries in the international dictionary of metrology. He rejects the concept of measurement as assigning numbers to objects and so-called "nominal scale". The author considers the measurement a less broad concept then quantification. Psychological quantification is not a measurement but a probabilistic assessment of a latent variable level that we only presume (contrary to really existing quantities in natural sciences).
