What I want to achieve:

The difference I aspire to make is to enhance the recognition of the pivotal role that measurement plays within the field of psychology. Measurement is not merely a procedural aspect of research; rather, it serves as a fundamental mechanism that profoundly influences the interpretation of research findings and their subsequent application across diverse real-world contexts.  

By promoting a deeper understanding of the various choices and factors involved in psychological measurement,  

I aim to facilitate more accurate and meaningful insights that can bridge the gap between empirical research and  practical implementation in several psychological fields.

Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to the advancement of psychology by emphasizing the critical importance of rigorous measurement in both research and applied domains.
