Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFValidity in research mainly stands for accuracy of procedures, research instruments, tests, etc. The concept of validity can also be understood by posing a question, ‘Are we measuring or able to measure what we originally intended to measure?’. Validity means that research must be unbiased and free from any systematic error as these may impact the applicability of research. Without validity, research goes in the wrong direction.
There there are two main categories of validity used to assess the validity of the test (i.e. questionnaire, interview, IQ test, etc.): Content and criterion.
Content-related (appropriate content) | Criterion-related (relationship to other measures) |
face validity:
|
Concurrent validity:
|
Construct validity:
|
Predictive validity:
