Convergent validity

and English) experts in translation (the survey of item translation seen Appendix B). The value of Content Validity Index (CVI, also called Expert Validity Index) was 0.92 (>0.8), which gained the evidence of content validity (Waltz, Strickland & Lenz, 1991). Participant The target participants of this study were Chinese university students. 250 questionnaires and measures for assessing validity of the questionnaire were sent through social media (Wechat and Weibo) and e-mail. After two…

Evidence of convergent validity, which the authors refer to as "concurrent" validity (manual, p. 8), isbased on correlations between OQ(c) scores and scores on 10 other tests that measure similar constructs (e.g., BDI, STAI, SCL-90-R). Reportedcorrelation coefficients are satisfactorily high (in the .44-.92 range) and are, at least for the total score, generally in the expected direction. Specificevidence of discriminant validity is lacking. Also lacking is discussion/elaboration…

2002). By doing this it also proves the face validity of the measure because it was assessed by experts and made sure the scales were correct. In the development of the Japanese version there was special attention put on the differences between North American and Japanese cultural difference. Results showed high internal consistency reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of .87 and the mean inter-item correlation of .24 (Kojima et al., 2002). Factorial validity was proven by conduction a factor…

scale is changed, internal consistency should be retested. This is the practice that the present study will follow. 4 Factorial validity is defined as being the degree to which covariance among the monitored traits resemble the actual true covariance of observable behaviours underlying the traits (Renaud & Murray, 2006). This means to test factorial validity an extension to the study would be conducted in which the participant’s experience the scenarios in the scale in real life and…

the creation of their own scale, Symbolic Racism Scale (SR2K). They found issue with the obvious dating of the MRS and items were worded to reflect higher levels of racism. This would result in higher levels of acquiescence bias and possibly face validity. Lastly, there appears to be a correlation between political affiliations and symbolic racism, affecting the association between the dependant variables and items (Henry & Sears, 2002; Tarman & Sears,…

Construct validity is examined through both convergent validity and discriminant validity. Convergent validity will be established by examining average variance extracted (AVE) values (>.5; Hair et al., 2009). Composite reliability (CR) will be calculated to assess the construct level reliability. Discriminant validity will examine the degree of discriminant level among the factors to make sure that each factor is…

Psychological assessment measurements are appraised based on two key measurement constructs: reliability and validity. Reliability of an assessment denotes how consistent the test scores are after repeated executions of the assessment. The reliability of an assessment is necessary and is a foundation to build upon for validity. Validity is the second key measurement construct that deals with the degree to which “the evidence exists to support the various inferences, interpretations,…

While defining closeness as romantic intimacy is a possibility, Bahuguna overlooked the definition of closeness given by Aron and his fellow researchers. The operationalization of this conceptual variable is not only crucial for construct validity (Morling, 2015), but also sets the standard for the entire study. Aron et al. (1997) focused on attempting to create a short-lived, subjective feeling of closeness defined as, “an interconnectedness between self and other.” This was done by having…

Validity of Research Convergent validity: Connections between the various concepts of media violence consump-tion can be used to establish the point to which various procedures of violent media content demonstrate convergence within the data sets (Busching, Gentile, Krahé, Möller, Khoo, Walsh, Anderson, 2015).

is The main point of view of this study was to examine the construct validity of self- and parent-rated scales of depression and anxiety, using symptom scales such as Short Mood, Feeling Questionnaire and the General Anxiety disorder scale. I learned that 5th-11th grade children found in the structural relations between anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents. The current study is first to examine the construct validity of two short scales of symptoms of anxiety and depression in a…
