Let’s look at these types of validity in more detail! Face Validityįace validity is the simplest and weakest type.
Construct Validity: Does the instrument measure the correct attribute?. Predictive Validity: Does the measure accurately predict outcomes?. Concurrent Validity: Do simultaneous measures of the same construct correlate?. Discriminant Validity: Is there no correlation between measures that should not have a relationship?. Criterion Validity: Do measures correlate with other measures in a pattern that fits theory?.
Content Validity: Do the test items adequately evaluate the target topic?.
Face Validity: On its face, does the instrument measure the intended characteristic?.
