Validity is one of the important characteristics of scientific research. The term ‘Validity’ implies truth or fidelity. Thus, validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. The word "valid" is derived from the Latin ‘validus’. A Valid measurement is always reliable.

  • For determining the validity of a test, the test should be compared to another independent construct or criteria. 
  • Validity is concerned with generalizability. 
  • Validity has three important properties:
    • It is a relative term.
    • It is not a fixed concept or criteria of a test because it is an unending process that requires constant validation.
    • It is just a measure concept and not an all-or-none property.

Important Points

Validity Description
Face Validity
  • It occurs where something appears to be valid.
  • It depends on the judgment of the observer.
  • Weakest way to demonstrate the construct validity.
  • It is a content-related validity. 
  • It Indicates the adequacy of the instrument used.
Concurrent validity
  • It measures how well a new test compares to a well-established test.
  • It practices concurrently testing two groups at the same time.
  • It is a criterion related to validity. 
  • It compares a new test to an already established test.
Construct Validity
  • It refers to how well a test or tool measures the construct that it was designed to measure.
  • It is a content-related validity.
  • It indicates the extent to which the measurement is used.
Predictive Validity
  • It is the extent to which a score on a scale or test predicts scores on some criterion measure.
  • It is a criterion related to validity.
  • The extent to which a score on a scale forecasts scores on some criterion measure.
