Construct validity has been demonstrated through correlations showing positive relationships with other measures such as:

With respect to convergent validity, most measures demonstrated high correlations with other measures that were purported to assess similar constructs (range =.13 — .88; median =.63).

On the other hand, there was considerable item - overlap across some of these measures, even among those purporting to assess different constructs.

As was the case with the internalizing / externalizing scales, many of these broad - band measures have successfully discriminated between different diagnostic groups (concurrent / predictive validity) and they tend to be significantly associated with other measures purported to be measuring the same constructs (i.e., convergent validity; range =.03 — .92; median =.42).

Also, two types of validity data were summarized: concurrent / predictive validity (or criterion - related validity, which includes reported correlations between the measure and outcomes that the measure was expected to predict, including differentiation between diagnostic categories) and convergent validity (which includes correlations between the target measure and other measures that are purported to assess the same construct).

Construct validity also is based on correlations with other personality measures (Carver et al., 1989).

Another possibility is that familism is a construct that is more salient to Latino participants (particularly given the Latino - centric measure used), so their completion of a measure that taps this idea may have «primed» them to feel more positive about their social relationships more so than in other cultural groups (who may be less sensitive to mentions of «family»).

This is in contrast to other measures of test anxiety that often approach the construct from a clinical (e.g., Schwarzer, 1990) or descriptive perspective (e.g., Driscoll, 2007).

Apart from correlational studies that link MDI data to other measures, future studies also need to explore to what extent the MDI measures constructs similarly for different subpopulations.

It is important to note, however, that, like other short measures of sensation seeking, 34 this scale seems to be a strong predictor of smoking despite not capturing the construct of sensation seeking as reliably as longer measures.

The convergent validity is a form of validation that tests for the association between a construct measured by a scale and other measures that theoretically related to this construct.31 32 For the convergent validity of the ASSET subscales, a set of variables used in the survey of the project were selected, and bivariate correlations were computed (online supplementary table 2).

Confirmatory construct validity evidence was found in Study 3, where correlations between the SRLTAS and other established measures were examined.

Increasingly, counselors and researchers are incorporating behavior modification techniques with other approaches (eclectic or multimodal approaches), and develop behavioral definitions to measure psychological constructs such as depression, anxiety or anger (Thompson, Rudolph, & Henderson, 2004).

Most cross-cultural work on children's social development has been dominated by an etic framework, which assumes that the constructs measured have relevance across all cultures.3 On the other hand, an emic framework refers to the specific ideas, behaviors, and values that are viewed as meaningful by members of a particular culture.
