| Popis: | Disability has traditionally been defined in biomedical terms and closely associated with objective physical impairment. More recent conceptualizations though, hold that a comprehensive evaluation of disability requires not only the assessment of objective physical impairment, but also an assessment of the psychosocial context in which the disability occurs. Some psychosocial risk factors, such as socioeconomic status, are objective in nature. In contrast, other psychosocial risk factors, such as depression, are determined by the report of subjective states. To assess these subjective states, standardized psychological tests can play a valuable role. The defining characteristics of standardized psychological tests are discussed, as are their uses. Commonly used psychological tests are reviewed. Practical questions are also addressed, such as when to administer psychological tests, what psychosocial risk factors need to be assessed, what tests to use, methods of quantifying the level of psychosocial risk, and the detection of faking. |
