I have been looking for resources on attitude scale construction. The
methods I have been looking at are things like paired comparisons and
successive intervals. The strange thing about finding descriptions of
these methods is that the only book I can find in print is *Techniques
of Attitude Scale Construction* by Edwards (1957?). In fact, it seems
that nearly all the standard references on these statistical methods
were published in the fifties or before.
Does anyone know what happened? Did these methods go out of style
bacause they were superceded?

Tom
