Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address. Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-boContents Tables and figures Preface Acknowledgements Chapter 1 Research as practice: Contextualising applied research in the South African context – Sherianne Kramer, Angelo Fynn and Sumaya Laher Section 1 Quantitative methods Chapter 2 Non-experimental research designs: Investigating the spatial distribution and social ecology of male homicide – Lu-Anne Swart, Sherianne Kramer, Kopano Ratele and Mohamed Seedat Chapter 3 Longitudinal designs: The RANCH-SA study – Kate Cockcroft, Paul Goldschagg and Joseph Seabi Chapter 4 Establishing factorial validity of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: A cross-sectional design – Malose Makhubela and Solomon Mashegoane Chapter 5 Using the WAIS-III to illustrate test norming strategies for valid cognitive assessment: A non-experimental design – Ann B.

This book provides an overview of the research related to psychological assessment across South Africa. The thirty-six chapters provide a combination of psychometric theory and practical assessment applications in order to combine the currently disparate research that has been conducted locally in this field. Existing South African texts on psychological assessment are predominantly academic textbooks that explain psychometric theory and provide brief descriptions of a few testing instruments. Psychological Assessment in South Africa provides in-depth coverage of a range of areas within the broad field of psychological assessment, including research conducted with various psychological instruments. The chapters critically interrogate the current Eurocentric and Western cultural hegemonic practices that dominate the field of psychological assessment. The book therefore has the potential to function both as an academic text for graduate students, as well as a specialist resource for professionals, including psychologists, psychometrists, remedial teachers and human resource practitioners.Chapter 1 Contextualising psychological assessment in South Africa - S Laher and K Cockcroft Section One: Cognitive tests: conceptual and practical applications Chapter 2 WAIS-III test performance in the South African context: extension of a prior cross-cultural normative database - AB Shuttleworth-Edwards, E Gaylard and SE Radloff Chapter 3 WISC-IV test performance in the South African context: a collation of cross-cultural norms - AB Shuttleworth-Edwards, AS van der Merwe, P van Tonder and SE Radloff Chapter 4 The Senior South African Individual Scales – Revised: a review - K Cockcroft Chapter 5 Assessing school readiness using the Junior South African Individual Scales: a pathway to resilience - LC Theron Chapter 6 School readiness assessment in South Africa - Z Amod and D Heafield Chapter 7 The Kaufman Assessment Battery in South Africa - K Greenop, J Rice and D de Sousa Chapter 8 The Das-Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System - Z Amod Chapter 9 Dynamic assessment in South Africa - Z.
