If the goal was to hit the “Bullseye”
with each dart…
We have
reliability
but not
validity
9. Research Methods 9
We have
both
reliability
and
validity
If the goal was to hit the “Bullseye”
with each dart…
10. Research Methods 10
We have
neither
reliability
nor validity
If the goal was to hit the “Bullseye”
with each dart…
11. RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY
To have validity we must first have
reliability
i.e. reliability is a prerequisite for
validity
Reliability is a necessary but not
sufficient condition for validity

Research Methods
12. Research Methods 12
Reliability is a necessary but not
sufficient condition for validity
We can
have
reliability
without
having
validity
13. Research Methods 13
We cannot
have
validity
without
first having
reliability
In order to be valid the
measurement must be reliable
15. SUMMARY
To have validity we must have
reliability
Reliability is a prerequisite for
validity.
Reliability is a necessary but not
sufficient condition for validity.

20. RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY
Reliability has to do with
consistency of measurement.
Validity has to do with accuracy of
measurement.
