Content validity

From PsychWiki - A Collaborative Psychology Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Cronbach and Meehl (1955) discuss content validity as a subtype of construct validity. Content validity is the degree to which a measure adequately represents the breadth of a construct and doesn’t leave out anything important. A final exam in a world history course that asked only about Napoleon would have poor content validity.
