Question

1 Do you anticipate that your measure(s) have high face validity? Explain.

2 Will you be evaluating the empirical validity of the measures you will be using in your research? Explain. (Note that if you use a published measure, information on empirical validity may already be available in the manual for the measure or in a research report in which the measure was used.)

3 Will you be evaluating the reliability of any measures you will be using in your research? Explain.

Answer 1

Validity and reliability is used to measure the quality of research. It helps to understand the efficiency of method, test, and techniques of measurement. Validity is about accuracy (Measure what it suppose to measure) and Reliability is about consistency of measurement (Reproducible result under same condition).

Answer- Question -1

To make a measurement accurate validity is used. Face Validity means we understand that experiment measure "subjectively", in other word we can say that experiments is looks like to measure what is suppose to do.

Coming to the question of said discussion point- anticipation of high face validity actually depends on situation, as in case of any layperson face validity is low whereas in cae of an expert it carried high value. So face validity totally depends on types of research/ experiments/measurements along with back of evidence to support the same and the person or institute carried the research also depends on measure criteria.

  Answer- Question -2

Empirical Validity means the degree of accuracy of anything which can be well demonstrated by evidence/ experiments/ systematic observation or scientific reasoning. So in case of any research the main objective is to find out the ground reality or something new to know (Discover) for betterment, so the validity of the measurement must be evaluated through empirical validity. Reason is to find out exact out of the particular research, for that any new findings must be evaluated well or demonstrated well by relevant evidence/ experiments or systematic observation in supporting to that findings.

   Answer- Question -3

It is important to evaluate the reliability of any measurement to see how consistent this measurement is. To understand better- if same result arrive from a particular method of experiments under same circumstances then the measurement consider reliable. A reliable measurement may not always correct as result may be reproducible but may not be valid. Again, generally a valid measurement always reliable because it must produce same repetitive result under same condition.
