Book Title: "Principles of Psychological Assessment: With Applied Examples in R" Book Author: Isaac T. Petersen

Description: This book highlights the principles of psychological assessment to help researchers and clinicians better develop, evaluate, administer, score, integrate, and interpret psychological assessments. It discusses psychometrics (reliability and validity), the assessment of various psychological domains (behavior, personality, intellectual functioning), various measurement methods (e.g., questionnaires, observations, interviews, biopsychological assessments, performance-based assessments), and emerging analytical frameworks to evaluate and improve assessment including: generalizability theory, structural equation modeling, item response theory, and signal detection theory. The text also discusses ethics, test bias, and cultural and individual diversity. The book provides practical data and analysis examples in R to help people better understand principles of psychological assessment and how to apply them. The book uses the freely available petersenlab package for R.

Based on the current organization of the "Big Book of R", I would put it under the "Social Science" heading.
