Construct validity concerns how well a set of indicators represent or reflect a concept that is not directly measurable. [1][2][3] Construct validation is the accumulation of evidence to support the interpretation of what a measure reflects. [1][4][5][6] Modern validity theory defines construct validity as the overarching concern of validity ...
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 ...
Questionnaires are frequently used in quantitative marketing research and social research. They are a valuable method of collecting a wide range of information from a large number of individuals, often referred to as respondents. What is often referred to as "adequate questionnaire construction" is critical to the success of a survey.
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).
Validity is the main extent to which a concept, conclusion, or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the real world. [1][2] The word "valid" is derived from the Latin validus, meaning strong. The validity of a measurement tool (for example, a test in education) is the degree to which the tool measures what it claims ...
Validity evidence based on nomological validity is a general form of construct validity. It is the degree to which a construct behaves as it should within a system of related constructs (the nomological network). [3] Nomological networks are used in theory development and use a modernist [clarification needed] approach. [4]
Validity scales were retained (revised), two new validity scales have been added (Fs in 2008 and RBS in 2011), and there are new scales that capture somatic complaints. All of the MMPI-2-RF's scales demonstrate either increased or equivalent construct and criterion validity compared to their MMPI-2 counterparts. [10] [12] [13]
In statistics, model validation is the task of evaluating whether a chosen statistical model is appropriate or not. Oftentimes in statistical inference, inferences from models that appear to fit their data may be flukes, resulting in a misunderstanding by researchers of the actual relevance of their model. To combat this, model validation is ...
