Is based in the extent to which a test measures a theoretical construct, attribute, or trait
-attempts to validate a body of theory underlying the measurement by testing the hypothesized relationships
- hypothesis testing approach
- convergent and divergent approach
-----convergent - Sometimes two or more instruments that theoretically measure the same construct are identified, and both are administered to the same subjects
------divergent - Uses measurement
approaches that differentiates one construct form others that may be similar
- contrast group approach - researcher identifies two groups of individuals who are suspected to score extremely high or low in the characteristic being measured by the instrument. The instrument is sensitive to individual differences in the trait being measured, the mean performance of these two groups should differ significantly and evidence of construct validity would be supported
- factor analytical approach - This is a procedure that gives the researcher information about the extent to which a set of items measures the same underlying construct or dimension of a construct
