Example of Validity and Reliability Studies
Bart, O., Rosenberg, L., Ratzon, N., & Jarus, T. (2010). Development and initial validation of the
Performance Skills Questionnaire (PSQ). Research in Developmental Disabilities, 31(1), 4656.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a performance skills
questionnaire for 4 to 6 year olds. Both children without disabilities and with mild to
moderate developmental disabilities were utilized. Construct validity and internal
consistency were examined. The researchers used factor analysis to examine the initial
factor structure of the questionnaire and a 3 factor structure was realized. Additionally
using the known groups procedures to examine construct validity, significant difference
were found with the two groups. Finally, two other scales were used to provide
evidence of convergent and divergent validity. Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest
procedures were used to provide evidence of reliability. Evidence of initial validity and
reliability for the PSQ was supported.

and Validation of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire. Journal of the American Dietetic
Association, 109(8), 1439-1444.

This research examine the development of the mindful eating questionnaire in order to
measure this construct. Mindful eating refers to the non awareness of physical and
emotional issues surrounded by eating. First, in order to develop a pool of questions, an
extensive review of literature was performed to determine the issues surrounding
mindful eating. Questions were developed and a qualitative interviews were utilized to
identify and clarify questions. Next, exploratory factor analysis was utilized to determine
the factor structure of the questionnaire. A 28 item questionnaire was developed and
was also examined with BMI and yoga practice. The relationship with yoga practice
indicated that mindful eating may be a skill that can be learned. In addition, mindful
eating was negatively related to BMI. Overall, these results find good support of the
construct validity of the scale.

initial validation of a Heart Disease Knowledge Questionnaire for people with rheumatoid
arthritis. Patient Education & Counseling, 77(1), 136-143.

The researchers attempted to validate through parallel forms a heart disease knowledge
questionnaire for rheumatoid arthritis patients. The researchers developed two forms
for the knowledge test and tested for the consistency of the questionnaires using
parallel forms reliability procedures. Using Kuder-Richardson -20 formula the
coefficients for each parallel form was .65 and .67. Analyses revealed that there were no
significant differences among scores for the two forms. Validity and reliability evidence
was established for the two forms.

Spontaneity, Well-Being, and Stress. Journal of Group Psychotherapy, Psychodrama, &
Sociometry, 59(3), 127-136.

In this study, the researchers examined the construct validity and reliability of the SAI-R
scale. The researchers utilized other inventories to examine the construct validity of the
SAI-R scale including the Friedman Well Being Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale. In
addition, Cronbach’s alpha was utilized to examine the internal consistency of the scale.
The SAI-R was positively correlated with the FWB scale along with its subscales.
Additionally, the SAI-R was negatively related to the PSS. These findings along with a
Cronbach alpha of .79 supported the construct validity and internal consistency of the
scale.

for postpartum depression: The role of the Postpartum Depression Predictors InventoryRevised (PDPI-R). Archives of Women's Mental Health, 12(4), 239-249.

Predictive validity procedures were utilized in this study to provide evidence of the
Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory-Revised (PDPI-R). In order to develop a
prediction equation, women filled out the inventory during their third and eight months
of pregnancy and then one month post partum. PDPI-R for both time points during
pregnancy were strong predictors of PDPI-R one month post partum. Overall, the
researcher recommended the PDPI-R as a good diagnostic to evaluate post partum
depression.
Tudor-Locke, C., Williams, J. E., Reis, J. P., & Pluto, D. (2004). Utility of Pedometers for Assessing
Physical Activity. Sports Medicine, 34(5), 281-291.

The study presents construct validity evidence for the use of pedometers in assessing
physical activity. Using past studies that examined construct validity of pedometers, the
researchers calculated median r values among the variables. Correlations among a
walking test, timed treadmill test, and peak VO2 test were considered acceptable (0.69,
0.41, and 0.22 respectively). The researchers found support of construct validity to
utilize pedometers as an inexpensive way to collect physical activity data.

scale measuring traits linked to reinforcement-specific substance use profiles. Addictive
Behaviors, 34(12), 1042-1055.

This paper presents a series of studies that examines the psychometric proprieties of
the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS). The first study examined the concurrent
and discriminant validity evidence of the SURPS. The second study examined the
internal structure of the scale using confirmatory factor analysis. In the lat study,
reliability issues were examined. Based on these three studies, validity and reliability
were established for the four-factor structure.
