Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Content validity is concerned with whether each element in a measurement instrument relates to the construct being measured. It is evaluated by examining the extent to which the instrument covers all aspects and dimensions of the construct. Therefore, asking whether each element measures the concept in question is a measure of content validity. Face validity (A) is concerned with whether an instrument appears to measure what it is intended to measure, based on a superficial examination. Pragmatic validity (B) refers to whether the instrument is easy to use and can produce useful results. Discriminant validity (D) is concerned with whether two concepts that are supposed to be distinct are not measuring the same thing.
