Study Notes
Types of Validity
- Face Validity: Indicates whether an instrument appears to assess what it is designed to measure from a superficial standpoint.
- Content Validity: Reflects how well the items in an instrument represent the entire content domain being evaluated.
- Criterion Validity: Measures the correlation between the outcomes of a test and a criterion test or gold standard, showing how well one test predicts another.
- Construct Validity: Relates to how effectively a tool measures a theoretical construct, assessing the underlying concept it is intended to measure.
- Predictive Validity: Predicts future performance based on the scores of a test, indicating how well the test can forecast outcomes.
Validity vs. Reliability
- Validity and reliability are interrelated; an instrument can be reliable (consistent results) without being valid (accurate measurement of the intended variable).
Reliability Coefficients
- Good Reliability: A reliability coefficient value of 0.7 or higher typically indicates good reliability.
- Moderate Reliability: A reliability coefficient value between 0.5 and 0.7 suggests moderate reliability.
- Reliability Coefficient Less than 0.5: Indicates poor reliability, suggesting the test may not consistently measure what it intends to.
Types of Reliability
-
Test-Retest Reliability: Assessed through repeated administration of the same test to the same individuals across a specified time interval, evaluating consistency over time.
- Consideration Example: Time gap between tests must be suitable to avoid memory effects.
-
Inter-Rater Reliability: Measures consistency between different raters evaluating the same variable.
- Consideration Example: Training raters to ensure they understand scoring criteria limits variability.
- Parallel-Forms Reliability: Evaluates the consistency of two equivalent forms of a measuring instrument, ensuring they yield similar results.
Additional Concepts
- Inter-Rater Reliability focuses on achieving similar ratings from multiple raters on the same variable, ensuring measurement consistency across different evaluators.
