Types of Validity #1
Assesses the extent to which the content of the test/measurement represents the area of interest.
What is content validity?
Assesses the extent to which a study measures what it intends to measure.
What is validity?
Assesses the extent to which different raters give consistent estimates of same behaviour.
What is inter-rater reliability?
Assesses the extent to which a test predicts future behaviour.
What is predictive validity?
Assesses the extent to which findings can be generalised to other settings or situations.
What is ecological validity?
Assesses the extent to which a test is stable over time.
What is test-retest reliability?
Assesses the extent to which operationalisations reflect constructs (overarching concept: generalisability of findings to theory).
What is construct validity?
Assesses the extent to which findings can be generalised from the sample to target or wider population.
What is population validity?
Assesses the extent to which all parts of the test contribute equally to what is being measured.
What is split-half method (reliability)?
Assesses the extent to which scores on a test correlate with another test known to be valid.
What is concurrent validity?
Assesses the extent to which we can be sure that research findings are due to the method suggested (change in DV is caused by IV). [overarching concept: credibility of the study]
What is internal validity?
Assesses the extent to which a measure is consistent within itself.
What is internal reliability?
Assesses the extent to which the findings can be generalised over time.
What is temporal validity?
Assesses the extent to which results of study can be generalised to other situations and other people (overarching concept: generalisability of findings)
What is external validity?
Assesses the extent to which a measure varies from one use to another.
What is external reliability?
