Validity and Reliability by Mind Map: Validity and Reliability

1. Validity

1.1. Content Validity

1.1.1. Test questions correspond with content covered

1.1.2. Not numeric

1.2. Criterion-related

1.2.1. Concurrent

1.2.1.1. Deals with measures that can be administered at the same time

1.2.1.2. Numeric

1.2.2. Predictive

1.2.2.1. Determines how well the test predicts future behavior

1.2.2.2. Numeric

1.3. Construct

1.3.1. Any information that indicates whether results from the test correspond to what would be expected

2. Reliablilty

2.1. Test-Retest

2.1.1. Test taken twice

2.1.2. Correlation between tests is determined

2.2. Alternate Forms or Equivalence

2.2.1. Two equivalent forms of a test

2.2.2. Forms can be used to get an estimate of the reliability of scores

2.3. Internal Consistency

2.3.1. Measures a single basic concept

2.3.2. Split-Half methods

2.3.2.1. Single test is used to make two shorter alternative tests
