Given below are two statements Statement I: Reliability is a necessary but insufficient condition for the validity aspect of a research tool Statement II: Validity is threatened when a test measures only the construct it is designed to measure in a research In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below Correct Answer Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Reliability in research:

  • The consistency of a research instrument or the process of measurement
  • Reliability is a necessary but insufficient condition for the validity aspect of a research tool
  • Stability, equivalence, and consistency are three basic principles of reliability
  • It can be classified into two
    • Internal consistency: establishing causal relationships as distinguished from the spurious relationship
    • External consistency: establish the domain to which findings can be generalized

The validity of research:

  • It refers to the accuracy of an instrument or the process of measuring
  • A test has construct validity if it accurately measures a theoretical, non-observable construct or trait. The construct validity of a test is worked out over a period of time on the basis of an accumulation of evidence. There are a number of ways to establish construct validity.
  • Thus Validity is not threatened when a test measures only the construct it is designed to measure in a research

Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
