# GULP

**G**eneralisability, **U**sability,**L**inguistics (and cultural Location) and **P**sychometrics. Our acronym to organise thinking about outcome/change measures.

#### Details

Chapter 2 is all about GULP so borrow or buy a copy of the book!!

More seriously, GULP is probably one of the more important ideas in the book as it relegates psychometrics behind **G**eneralisability, **U**sability,**L**inguistics (and cultural Location) underlining that in the field of change measurement, certainly for MH/WB and interventions generally, conventional psychometric analyses are less important than GUL.
