    Construct Validity

    Uploaded by

    Gad Aguilar
    Psychological testing and assessment aims to measure theoretical constructs validly. There are two main types of construct validity: convergent and discriminant validity. Convergent validity refers to how well a test measures constructs it intends to, shown by strong correlations with other measures of the same construct. Discriminant validity shows a test distinguishes between different constructs, evidenced by weak or no correlations with unrelated measures. Ensuring valid construct measurement through convergent and discriminant validity has been an ongoing effort in psychology since the 1940s.
