[CDATA[ For example, referring back to our table study earlier. During the task they will run into several signs which suggest that they are being monitored, for example, ‘you are being monitored by CCTV operators.’. Face validity refers to the extent to which a study appears to measure what it claims to measure. It is vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.â 3. Suppose now we correctly measure the length of the table, but then we realise that our tape measure is inaccurate. Practice Exams. Achieving this level of validity thus makes results more credible. You can use such type validity in research for representing that particular test suitable for accomplishing aim. Suppose we are looking into the effects of thinking you are being watched on behaviour. // 0.05 of chance. Validity, its types, measurement & factors. This suggests cause and effect between the variables. Test validity is composed of several constituent parts. //
