Convergent and Discriminant Validity

Note : Construct validity of the Pearson Test of English Academic : A multitrait - multimethod approach 1

Linguistic abilities are multifaceted and cannot easily be measured directly. Consequently, multiple diagnostic methods are employed to assess multiple traits of language skills. This indirect means of assessment raises issues of adequacy, appropriateness, and utility of the measures in testing an individual’s ability or skill.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity Evaluation 1 In press, British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology Evaluation of Convergent and Discriminant Validity with Multitrait-Multimethod Correlations

A procedure for evaluation of convergent and discriminant validity coefficients is outlined. The method yields interval estimates of these coefficients in a construct validation study conducted via the multitrait-multimethod approach, as well as permits examination of their population relationships. The procedure is readily employed in behavioral research using the increasingly popular latent v...
