C-OAR-SE presents a groundbreaking theory for construct measurement in social sciences, focusing on a rational approach rather than the traditional empirical methods. It addresses key elements such as construct definition and item type selection, applicable across various fields like management, psychology, and sociology. The book critiques the limitations of psychometric approaches, claiming they lead to misleading findings and flawed theories. With practical applications, examples, and discussion questions, it aims to equip researchers with tools for creating more valid measures in their work.
