This book declines to take for granted the widespread assumption
that existing psychometric procedures provide scientific
measurement. The currently fashionable concepts of measurement
within psychology -- operationalism and representationalism -- are
critically examined, and the classical view, that measurement is
the assessment of quantity, is defended. Within this framework, it
is shown how conjoint measurement can be used to test the
hypothesis that variables are quantitative. This theme is developed
in detail using familiar psychological examples, such as
Thurstone's law of comparative judgment, multidimensional scaling,
and Coombs' theory of unfolding.
