construct validitySeeks an agreement between a theoretical concept and a specific measuring device, such as observation.

construct validitythe degree to which the testing tool and measurement tool used in a study accurately reflect the conceptual question of interest. For instance, asking people whether they feel that a product is usable [..]

construct validityThe general validity of a measuring device. Construct validity answers the question of whether or not the measuring device actually measures the construct under question.

5 |
construct validityThe extent to which a measurement reflects the specific underlying construct it purports to assess. Construct validity requires gradual accumulation of evidence from a variety of sources.

6 |
construct validitythe magnitude to which an analysis or tool is able to gauge an abstract characteristic, capacity, or construct.

construct validityConstruct Validity refers to the ability of a measurement tool (e.g., a survey, test, etc) to actually measure the psychological concept being studied. In other words, does it properly measure what it [..]

construct validityA form of validity for an operational definition. If a test has "construct validity" then it measures what it says it measures, or rather there is evidence that it measures what it says it measures. There are various standard ways of trying to establish that a test has "construct validity." One standard way is triangulation.

construct validityThe degree to which a variable, test, questionnaire or instrument measures the theoretical concept that the researcher hopes to measure. For example, if a researcher is interested in the theoretical c [..]

construct validityA method of assessing validity by examining how well the test measures the underlying construct. See Box 7.3.

construct validityThe degree to which a survey question adequately measures an intended hypothetical construct. This may be assessed by checking the correlation between observations from that question with observations [..]

14 |
construct validityAn instrument is said to possess construct validity if it can be demonstrated that it indeed measures the particular abstract concept, or construct, it purports to measure. For instance, an instrument that claims to measure the construct of pain would need to demonstrate a positive correlation with other indicators of the experience of pain.

construct validityis a type of validity that refers to the degree to which a test captures the underlying construct purportedly measured by the test.
