WHETHER A “MEASUREMENT” OF HUMAN FEELINGS IS A MEASUREMENT IN AN OPERATIONAL SENSE?
The article points out that psychometric scaling based on self-assessment is not a measurement in the usual meaning and rank indicators should not be taken as numerical markers. Clarification of statistical procedures for different types of scaling is explained. The validity of the proposal to use death as a “solid” outcome indicator for universal evaluation of the effectiveness of antidepressants is questioned.
