This 1982 edition of “Rating Scale Analysis” by Benjamin D. Wright and Geofferey N. Masters is a seminal work in the field of Rasch measurement theory.

Wright and Masters were instrumental in popularizing and extending Rasch’s ideas, making this book a must-have for researchers and practitioners in the social sciences, education, and psychology. Beyond its technical rigor, the book is renowned for its clear and accessible explanations, making complex statistical concepts understandable to a wide audience. For collectors, this well-preserved copy represents an important milestone in the development of modern measurement theory, a field that has profoundly influenced standardized testing, survey research, and the quantitative study of human behavior.
