  2. Convergent validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_validity

    Convergent validity in the behavioral sciences refers to the degree to which two measures that theoretically should be related, are in fact related. [1] Convergent validity, along with discriminant validity, is a subtype of construct validity. Convergent validity can be established if two similar constructs correspond with one another, while ...

  3. Multitrait-multimethod matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitrait-multimethod_matrix

    The multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix is an approach to examining construct validity developed by Campbell and Fiske (1959). [1] It organizes convergent and discriminant validity evidence for comparison of how a measure relates to other measures. The conceptual approach has influenced experimental design and measurement theory in psychology ...

  4. Questions About Behavior Function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questions_About_Behavior...

    Convergent validity between the QABF and the Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS) appears to be strongest, while convergent validity with analogue functional analyses appears to be lower than expected. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Research suggests that since many behaviors may be contingent on multiple factors, [ 5 ] measures such as the Functional Assessment for ...

  5. Cronbach's alpha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronbach's_alpha

    The phenomenon where validity is sacrificed to increase reliability is known as the attenuation paradox. [35] [36] A high value of reliability can conflict with content validity. To achieve high content validity, each item should comprehensively represent the content to be measured.

  6. Concurrent validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_validity

    Convergent validity refers to the observation of strong correlations between two tests that are assumed to measure the same construct. It is the interpretation of the focal test as a predictor that differentiates this type of evidence from convergent validity, though both methods rely on simple correlations in the statistical analysis.

  7. Confirmatory factor analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmatory_factor_analysis

    In statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a special form of factor analysis, most commonly used in social science research. [1] It is used to test whether measures of a construct are consistent with a researcher's understanding of the nature of that construct (or factor).

  8. Cohen's kappa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen's_kappa

    Cohen's kappa measures the agreement between two raters who each classify N items into C mutually exclusive categories. The definition of is =, where p o is the relative observed agreement among raters, and p e is the hypothetical probability of chance agreement, using the observed data to calculate the probabilities of each observer randomly selecting each category.

  9. Validity (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_(statistics)

    The validity of a measurement tool (for example, a test in education) is the degree to which the tool measures what it claims to measure. [3] Validity is based on the strength of a collection of different types of evidence (e.g. face validity, construct validity, etc.) described in greater detail below.
