Construct Validity and Construct Similarity: Methods for Use in Test Development and Test Validation.

Frederiksen, Norman

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v21 n1 p3-28 Jan 1986

A procedure is suggested for test development and construct validation based on a theory about the criterion performance. The method is illustrated by describing a study concerned with the selection of medical school students, where the criterion is a measure of clinical problem-solving ability. (Author/LMO)
