| Abstract: | Comments on S. T. Meier's (see record 1994-03401-001) discussion of the importance of emphasizing measurement in graduate education in psychology. Meier highlighted 1 major impediment to the lack of emphasis placed on general measurement issues in undergraduate and graduate curriculum: the balkanization of measurement concerns in different areas of psychology. Other impediments to revitalizing the measurement curriculum are outlined and a schema by M. S. Aftanas (see record 1989-24546-001) is suggested as a base for planning curricula. Psychologists should be aware that measurement is of primary concern to all areas of psychology, and curricula at both undergraduate and graduate levels should deal with basic principles of all behavioral measurement.
