Finding Measures
Measures, scales or instruments can be found in different ways. Research articles occasionally include the actual measure or scale used - sometimes at the end, as an appendix. Some measures are only available commercially - they must be purchased and might be restricted to qualified individuals.
The sources below are good places to start because they include the complete text of many measures.
