Other Measurement Validity Types

OverviewOverview l Face validity l Content validity l Criterion-related validity l Predictive validity l Concurrent validity l Construct validity –Convergent validity –Discriminant validity

Face Validity l The measure seems valid “on its face”. l A judgment call. l Probably the weakest form of measurement validity Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet

Content Validity l Check the measure against the relevant content domain. l Also a judgment call. l Can make this relatively rigorous with a systematic check Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet Content domain

Criterion-Related Validity l Check the measure against a relevant criterion Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet Content domain Test

Criterion-Related Validity l Check the measure against a relevant criterion. l The standard is empirical Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet Content domain TestCriterion

Predictive Validity l A type of criterion-related validity Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet Test

Predictive Validity l A type of criterion-related validity l Look at measure’s ability to predict something it should be able to predict Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important Manage time effectively 2Manage resources effectively. 3Scan a multitude of information and decide what is important. 4Decide how to manage multiple tasks. 5Organize the work when directions are not specific. 1Manage time effectively Rating Sheet TestCriterion

Concurrent Validity l A type of criterion-related validity

Concurrent Validity l A type of criterion-related validity, l Does the measure distinguish between groups that it should distinguish between?

Concurrent Validity l A type of criterion-related validity l Does the measure distinguish between groups that it should distinguish between? l Example: a measure of empowerment should show higher scores for managers and lower scores for their workers.

Relationships Among Validity Types l Almost all can be considered a sub- case of construct validity. l Construct validity is the most encompassing and comprehensive standard.
