Exploring Reliability and Validity

Type of Reliability and Validity Used
Upon examination of the Values and Motives Questionnaire: The Technical Manual, it becomes clear what variables are working towards the reliability and validity of this study. The following paragraphs will entail those specific concepts.
Validity
After reading through the questionnaire, clarity develops in that two different types of validity are made distinct. Those two categories are named construct validity and criterion related validity. In classification, construct validity epitomizes itself in that its purpose is to make sure that a test, or whatever assessment is being employed, analyzes what it is intended to. In correlation, …show more content…
The reliability in this study is calculated with unsystematic error in tow—meaning, if a mistake, or an inaccuracy is made, it is done variously and miscellaneously from many angles, not from one sole individual. Two different ideas of reliability were seen within this study: test-retest reliability and measures of internal consistency reliability. Test-retest reliability is when a valuation is made regarding particular scoring records over two or more trial instances. In other words, “test-retest reliability method is when a reliability coefficient is calculated simply by correlating the performance on the first administration with the performance on the second administration (Whiston, 2013, p. …show more content…
This illustration of participants should attest to being sound in that opposite gender roles are studied and surveyed, as well as the variable of cultural multiplicity portraying a substantial, weighty role.
Any feature that allows for differing population samples will show unalike hiccups in the outcome of it all, whether that interference be constructive or undesirable. For example, when concerning reliability, unsystematic and systematic error must be accounted for. With a bulky sample size, not all of the participants are going to be feeling the same or be experiencing similar or alike attitudes or moods. This psychological state is also known as unsystematic error. Systematic error could be the influence of the testing environment, or any different stimulus that could manipulate the participants: noise, verbal cues, partaker distraction,
