The contribution of each team member can be conceptualized as a measurement input, and the output of the team similarly can be seen as a measurement. Communimetric measures function well as outputs of team measurement processes. Again, the team is generally engaged in constitutive communication, creating meaning. Self-Report and Communimetrics Measurement strategies that have the respondent directly answer questions on a survey are commonly called self-report. In many ways, self-report measurement is a field in and of itself, as the nuances of how you obtain accurate and useful information directly from target respondents has received much investigation.
Chapter 2 Measurement as Communication In order to set the stage for understanding communimetrics as a theory of measurement it is important to set the context based on current theories of measurement, of which there are two primary conceptual models—psychometric theories and clinimetric theories. Psychometric theory has two competing approaches within its general framework—classical test theory and item response theory (IRT). The following describes the basic tenets of each of these approaches.
Negative correlations work the same way. A high negative correlation would be taken as evidence of information redundancy, but in the opposite direction on the construct. Factor analysis can be used to identify the underlying structure of relationships among sampled items. Factor analysis, which is the statistical cornerstone of classical test theory, takes the correlation matrix and places some formal statistical rules on the size of correlations needed to support the claim that the items share a common construct or population (Eysenck, 1971).
