Coryn, Chris L. S.; Scriven, Michael – Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation, 2007
The evaluation of government-financed research has become increasingly important in the last few decades in terms of increasing the quality of, and payoff from, the research that is done, reducing the cost of doing it, and lending public credibility to the manner in which research is funded. But there are very large differences throughout the…

Gorin, Joanna S. – Educational Researcher, 2007
Lissitz and Samuelsen (2007) propose a new framework for validity theory and terminology, emphasizing a shift in theory and practice toward issues of test content rather than constructs. The author of this article argues that several of Lissitz and Samuelsen's critiques of validity theory focus on previously considered, but subsequently discarded,…

In this project, I explain a framework for the evaluation of testing procedures in web-based language learning programs containing four dimensions: construct validity, reliability, authenticity and impact. Qualitative, open-ended criteria are proposed and applied in an n=1 case study format. The evaluated program shows little validity with its…

The authors describe 2 studies on the development of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (A. J. Shea & R. B. Slaney, 1999). In Study 1 (N = 389), confirmatory analyses validated the factor structure of the measure, and additional results supported the reliability and construct validity of the subscale scores. In Study 2 (N = 280), data again…

Peer reviewedFregeau, Daniel L.; Barker, Maurice – Adolescence, 1986
The Objective Measure of Ego Identity was administered to 350 adolescents to test the Eriksonian theory of a developmental continuum from role diffusion to identity achievement. The results offer construct validity for the dynamic process proposed by Blos and Erikson, but do not support the categorization procedure as set forth by Adams, Shea, and…

This paper reports on the validity and utility of this instrument. Five studies using the CSA (E. Frydenberg and R. Lewis, 1997) found significant…

Evaluates the efficacy of a multidimensional model of body image that incorporated the dimensions of perception, affect, cognition, and behavior. Results did not support the hypothesized four-factor model, but rather a model that consisted of three factors. The results highlight the multidimensionality of the body image construct and the…
