Document Summary
Understand the relationship between reliability and validity. Evaluate typical evidence of reliability and validity in human performance. Validity is the degree of truthfulness of a test score. Dependent on two characteristics: reliability and relevance. Relevance is the degree to which a test pertains to its objectives. Evidence of truthfulness based on logical decision making and interpretation. Also known as face validity and logical validity. Content experts, expert judges, colleagues, and textbook writers can serve as sources to validate instrument content. Based on determining the relationship between a criterion and other measures used to estimate criterion. Also known as statistical validity and correlational validity. Concurrent validity (criterion is measured at about the same time as the alternative measure) Predictive validity (criterion is measured in the future) Distance runs (e. g. , 1. 0 miles [1. 6 km], 1. 5 miles [2. 4 km]; 2km [1. 2 km]; 9 min, 12 min; 20- m [21. 9 yard] shuttle} Heart disease (criterion: heart disease developed in later life)
