Michael Furr discusses traditional psychometric perspectives and issues including reliability, validity, dimensionality, test bias, and response bias as well as advanced procedures.
Research Interests & Relevant Publications
My current research is focused on three broad issues:
1) Moral Psychology. Among other things, our team is interested in understanding:
- The personality basis of moral behavior, especially honest behavior
- Moral reputations (e.g., what do people believe about highly honest people, how are honest people seen by others)?
- How do people resolve moral dilemmas (e.g., what seems “correct” when honesty and compassion conflict?)
2) Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness, associated with severe functional impairment and significant costs to society. Our research team has several goals:
- Obtain direct, empirical accounts of symptom frequencies, severities, and co-occurrences, to aid diagnosis, treatment, and termination decisions.
- Test several theoretical mechanisms for the occurrence of BPD symptoms in daily life.
- Investigate the role of interpersonal perception processes in stressors and symptoms of BPD.
- Chart trajectories and transactions of symptom frequencies, severities, and contingencies.
3) Measurement and Analysis. I’m interested in diverse issues related to the development and validation of psychological tests and related to the analysis of data. For example:
- Assessment and analysis of “profile similarity”
- Evaluating, understanding, and computing the “Quantifying Construct Validity” procedure
- Developing new measures of moral relativism and moral tolerance
- The practical meaning of variance components
