Dear GDO members,For those of you on the OB listserv, please excuse this posting. For others - I thought you might find this posting useful.----- Forwarded by Ron Ophir/Atkinson on 10/03/2008 10:53 PM ----- Hello all (and apologies for cross-posting), One of the most common questions here on the OB listserv is "how do I find a good measure of X?" Unfortunately, there aren't many good places for researchers to quickly find validated scales, and our research databases aren't set up to help find that information. Recognizing the difficulty in finding scales, the Research Methods Division of AOM has been working to update our "Measures Chest." The Measures Chest is a list of different constructs and associated measures, organized by topic, with references indicating where the items can be found. Some validation information is also available. The Measures Chest is now in the form of a wiki. This means that like Wikipedia, the Measures Chest is an open-source document that can be edited by anyone. Everyone can participate in filling in the database. You can find the current version of the Measures Chest here:http://measures.kammeyer-uf.com/wiki/Main_Page We welcome your interest and participation in developing this resource. There will be continued updates provided by volunteers within the RMD, but the Measures Chest can become an even more valuable tool for researchers if others get involved. Feel free to jump right in and start editing when you find something of value, or comment on what's up there already!
