The document discusses various types of validity in psychometrics and research. It defines validity as the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. The main types of validity discussed are content validity, criterion-related validity (including concurrent and predictive validity), construct validity, and face validity. Content validity refers to how well a test represents the domain it is intended to measure. Criterion-related validity compares test scores to external outcomes. Construct validity examines if a test aligns with theoretical constructs. Face validity is simply whether a test appears valid at face value.
Validity:
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it is purported to measure.
Types of Validity:
1. Logic valididty:
Validity which is in the form of theory, statements. It has 2 types.
I. Face Validity:
It is the extent to which the measurement method appears “on its face” to measure the construct of interest.
• Example:
• suppose you were taking an instrument reportedly measuring your attractiveness, but the questions were asking you to identify the correctly spelled word in each list
II. Content Validity:
Measuring all the aspects contributing to the variable of the interest.
Example:
For physical fitness temperature, height and stamina are supposed to be assess then a test of fitness must include content about temperatures, height and stamina.
2. Criterion
It is the extent to which people’s scores are correlated with other variables or criteria that reflect the same construct
Example:
An IQ test should correlate positively with school performance.
An occupational aptitude test should correlate positively with work performance.
Types of Criterion Validity
Concurrent validity:
• When the criterion is something that is happening or being assessed at the same time as the construct of interest, it is called concurrent validity.
• Example:
Beef test.
Predictive validity:
• A new measure of self-esteem should correlate positively with an old established measure. When the criterion is something that will happen or be assessed in the future, this is called predictive validity.
• Example:
GAT, SAT
Other types of validity
Internal Validity:
It is basically the extent to which a study is free from flaws and that any differences in a measurement are due to an independent variable and nothing else
External Validity
• It is the extent to which the results of a research study can be generalized to different situations, different groups of people, different settings, different conditions, etc.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
2. What is validity????
VALIDITY is an indication of how sound your research is. More specifically,
validity applies to both the design and the methods of your research.
Validity in data collection means that your findings truly represent the
phenomenon you are claiming to measure
Research validity in surveys relates to the extent at which the survey
measures right elements that need to be measured. In simple terms, validity
refers to how well an instrument as measures what it is intended to
measure.
In psychometrics, validity has a particular application known as test validity:
"the degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of
test scores“
3. Validity has been broadly defined as the extent to which a text measures
what it purports to measure
Validity is at the core of testing and assessment, as it legitimises the
content of the tests, meaning the information gained from the test
answers is relevant to the topic needed
Validity is an integrated evaluative judgement of the degree to which
empirical evidence and theoretical rationales support the adequacy and
appropriateness of inferences and actions speak based on test scores or
other modes of measurements.
Research validity in surveys relates to the extent at which the survey
measures right elements that need to be measured Research validity can
be divided into two groups internal and external
4. Internal validity refers to how the research findings match reality, it is
important to keep in mind that the validity is a unitary concept.
Internal validity refers to whether the effects observed in a study are due
to the manipulation of the independent variable and not some other
factor. In-other-words there is a causal relationship between the
independent and dependent variable.
Internal validity can be improved by controlling extraneous variables, using
standardized instructions, counter balancing, and eliminating demand
characteristics and investigator effects.
INTERNAL VALIDITY
5. Factors affect internal validity
Subject variability
Size of subject population
Time given for the data collection or experimental treatment
History
Attrition
Maturation
Instrument/task sensitivity
6. EXTERNAL VALIDITY
External validity refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be
generalized to other settings (ecological validity), other people
(population validity) and over time (historical validity).
External validity can be improved by setting experiments in a more
natural setting and using random sampling to select participants.
EXTERNAL VALIDITY is the extent to which you can generalize your
findings to a larger group or other contexts. If your research lacks
external validity, the findings cannot be applied to contexts other than the
one in which you carried out your research. For example, if the subjects
are all males from one ethnic group, your findings might not apply to
females or other ethnic groups
7. Factors affect external validity
Population characteristics (subjects)
Interaction of subject selection and research
Descriptive explicitness of the independent variable
The effect of the research environment
Researcher or experimenter effects
Data collection methodology
The effect of time
8. Types of Validity
Content validity
Construct validity
Criterion related validity
Face validity
9. CONTENT VALIDITY
Content validity is the extent to which the elements within a
measurement procedure are relevant and representative of the construct
that they will be used to measure (Haynes et al., 1995). Establishing
content validity is a necessarily initial task in the construction of a new
measurement procedure (or revision of an existing one)
Content validity evidence involves the degree to which the content of
the test matches a content domain associated with the construct.
When constructing any test or questionnaire, the items should be
representative of the domain to be measured. For example, a spelling
test containing only the names of professional footballers would be of
poor content validity as a general purpose of spelling.
10. Mainly used in clinical psychology, measures an assessment on how well
it encompasses the entire part of personality or symptoms it is testing for,
and requires authorities to validate that these ‘parts’ make up the whole
picture of what an illness, etc. is.
Covers a representative sample of the behavior domain to be measured"
Content Validity (also known as logical validity) refers to the extent to
which a measure represents all facets of the construct (e.g. personality,
ability) being measured.
Content validity is most often addressed in academic and vocational
testing, where test items need to reflect the knowledge actually required
for a given topic area (e.g., history) or job skill (e.g., accounting).
In clinical settings, content validity refers to the correspondence between
test items and the symptom content of a syndrome.
11. Content validity is qualitative in nature, and asks whether a specific
element enhances or detracts from a test or research program
12. CRITERION-RELATED VALIDITY
Criterion or concrete validity is the extent to which a measure is related to an outcome.
Criterion validity is often divided into concurrent and predictive validity.
Concurrent validity refers to a comparison between the measure in question and an
outcome assessed at the same time.
Predictive validity compares the measure in question with an outcome assessed at a later
time.
Concurrent validity should not be used as a substitute for predictive validity without an
appropriate supporting rationale."
13. CONCURRENT VALIDITY
This is the degree to which a test corresponds to an external criterion that
is known concurrently (i.e. occurring at the same time). If the new test is
validated by a comparison with a currently existing criterion, we have
concurrent validity. Very often, a new IQ or personality test might be
compared with an older but similar test known to have good validity
already.
14. PREDICTIVE VALIDITY
This is the degree to which a test accurately predicts a criterion that will occur
in the future. For example, a prediction may be made on the basis of a new
intelligence test, that high scorers at age 12 will be more likely to obtain
university degrees several years later. If the prediction is born out then the
test has predictive validity.
Refers to the degree to which the operationalization can predict (or correlate
with) other measures of the same construct that are measured at some time
in the future. Again, with the selection test example, this would mean that the
tests are administered to applicants, all applicants are hired, their
performance is reviewed at a later time, and then their scores on the two
measures are correlated.
This is also when measurement predicts a relationship between what is
measured and something else. predicting whether or not the other thing will
happen in the future. High correlation between ex-ante predicted and ex-
post actual outcomes is the strongest proof of validity.
15. Criterion validity reflects the use of a criterion a well-established
measurement procedure - to create a new measurement procedure to
measure the construct you are interested in.
The criterion and the new measurement procedure must be theoretically
related. The measurement procedures could include a range of research
methods (eg-surveys, structured observation, or structured interviews, etc.
Criterion validity is the data that demonstrates that the scores on a test
related to some defined measure of interest.
For example score on a college entrance are planned to be used to
predictors of college Performance. The criterion measure of interest is then
some measure of college performance.
Criterion related validity can be seen by the strength of the relationship
between scores on the college entrance exam and the chosen criterion.
16. The test can be validated against as many criteria as there are specific uses for it they are
Academic achievement-
One of the most frequently used in criteria in validating intelligence tests is
done indicator of academic achievement. Specific indices used are school
grades achievement test scores promotion and graduation records
performance jn specialized training-this Can criterion that is commonly
used in the development of special aptitude test.
Job performance-one criterion that has been used in the validate of
general intelligence as well as personality tests and special aptitude test is
based on the following records of job performance.
17. psychiatric diagnosis
This criterion has been used as a source and evidence of test validity mainly
personality tests
Ratings
Those ratings made by school teachers job supervisor school counsellor,
come workers classmates fellow club members and other members of other
groups of associated are commonly used as criterion categories.
correlation between a new test and previously available tests.
A new test that is shortened or simplified version of a project a previously
available test can be measured against the criterion of the older test.
18. CONSTRUCT VALIDITY
Construct validity was invented by Cornball and Meehl (1955). This type of
validity refers to the extent to which a test captures a specific theoretical
construct or trait, and it overlaps with some of the other aspects of
validity
Construct validity does not concern the simple, factual question of
whether a test measures an attribute. Instead it is about the complex
question of whether test score interpretations are consistent with a
nomological network involving theoretical and observational terms
(Cronbach & Meehl, 1955).
Correlations with other scales will provide useful information on a test’s
construct validity
19. Construct validity is "the degree to which a test measures what it claims, or
purports, to be measuring.
Modern validity theory defines construct validity as the overarching
concern of validity research, subsuming all other types of There are a
number of different measures that can be used to validate tests, one of
which is construct validity.
Construct validity is used to determine how well a test measures what it is
supposed to measure.
Construct validity is usually verified by comparing the test to other tests
that measure similar qualities to see how highly correlated the two
measures are
20. Construct validity is essential to the perceived overall validity of the test.
Construct validity is particularly important in the social
sciences, psychology, psychometrics and language studies.
Construct Validity is the extent to which a test measures some established
construct or trait. Such constructs might be mechanical, verbal or spatial
ability, emotional stability or intelligence. Correlations with other scales will
provide useful information on a test’s construct validity
There is no single method of determining the construct validity of a test.
Instead, different methods and approaches are combined to present the
overall construct validity of a test. For example, factor analysis and
correlational methods can be used.
21. FACE VALIDITY
This is the least sophisticated measure of validity. Face validity is simply
whether the test appears (at face value) to measure what it claims to.
Face validity is the extent to which a test is subjectively viewed as covering
the concept it purports to measure. It refers to the transparency or
relevance of a test as it appears to test participants.
Face validity refers to the degree to which an assessment or test
subjectively appears to measure the variable or construct that it is
supposed to measure. In other words, face validity is when an assessment
or test appears to do what it claims to
22. For instance, if a test is prepared to measure whether students can perform
multiplication, and the people to whom it is shown all agree that it looks
like a good test of multiplication ability, this demonstrates face validity of
the test.
Face validity is often contrasted with content validity and construct validity
Face validity, also called logical validity, is a simple form of validity where
you apply a superficial and subjective assessment of whether or not your
study or test measures what it is supposed to measure
23. A direct measurement of face validity is obtained by asking people to rate
the validity of a test as it appears to them. This rater could use a likert scale
to assess face validity. For example:
- the test is extremely suitable for a given purpose
- the test is very suitable for that purpose;
- the test is adequate
- the test is inadequate
- the test is irrelevant and therefore unsuitable.
It is important to select suitable people to rate a test (e.g. questionnaire,
interview, IQ test etc.).
24. Having face validity does not mean that a test really measures what the
researcher intends to measure, but only in the judgment of raters that it
appears to do so. Consequently it is a crude and basic measure of validity.
