Problems
with construct validity across immigrant ethnic minority groups may occur when there are different perceptions of meanings of an item.
The 49 item measure was developed in conjunction with reviews from experts in the field and is considered to have good face validity

It may be then that Schutz's original Openness and Inclusion dimensions are better understood as part of the same substantive domain, as indicated by the factor analytic
construct validity studies (Macrosson, 2000; Mahoney & Stasson, 2005) but capture different interaction modes (Accepted versus Generated) within this interpersonal tendency.

on construct validity.

There is debate whether nutrient profiling models should be across - the - board or category specific (27), and as such nutrient profiling has increasingly been the subject of European studies aimed at

regarding construct validity for ethnic group, gender and resilience outcomes is detailed in the report «Measuring resilience and youth development: the psychometric properties of the Healthy Kids Survey».

This finding
confirms construct validity of the RPI measure and its predictive value in evaluating interindividual differences in peer relationships.
Finally, the
preliminary construct validity was inherently circular, as there would be no surprise to find that the new scale differentiated between pre-defined abrasive and non-abrasive individuals.
This study, intended to provide
additional construct validity evidence through discrimination among other self - regulatory constructs, indicated that, as expected, scores from the SRLTAS were positively correlated with reports of higher self - handicapping and negatively correlated with endorsed generalized self - efficacy.
However, this measure had good construct validity [34].
However, despite this, patterns of associations with these two measures are in line with those reported in adult SRQ data with more robust
