It addresses contemporary issues and controversies within measurement in light of the framework, including operationalism, definitional uncertainty, and the relations between measurement and computation, and describes how the framework, operating as a shared concept system, supports understanding measurement?s work in different domains, using examples in the physical and human sciences. This revised and expanded second edition features a new analysis of the analogies and the differences between the error/uncertainty-related approach adopted in physical measurement and the validity-related approach adopted in psychosocial measurement. In addition, it provides a better analysis and presentation of measurement scales, in particular about their relations with quantity units, and introduces the measurand identification/definition as a part of the "Hexagon Framework" along with new examples from the physical and psychosocial sciences. Researchers and academics across a wide range of disciplines including biological, physical, social, and behavioral scientists, as well as specialists in measurement and philosophy appreciate the work?s fresh and provocative approach to the field at a time when sound measurements of complex scientific systems are increasingly essential to solving critical global problems. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Measurement Science and Technology,$x2198-7815 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aScience?Philosophy 606 $aSociology?Methodology 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aMeasuring instruments 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aManagement 606 $aComplex Systems 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 606 $aSociological Methods 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aManagement 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aScience?Philosophy. 615 0$aSociology?Methodology. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aMeasuring instruments. 615 0$aPsychometrics. 615 0$aManagement. 615 14$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aSociological Methods. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 615 24$aPsychometrics. 615 24$aManagement. 676 $a502.87 700 $aMari$b Luca$067783 701 $aWilson$b Mark$0437776 701 $aMaul$b Andrew$01337569 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910669808803321 996 $aMeasurement Across the Sciences$93057035 997 $aUNINA
