Validity potential versus realised validity
2025-06-26 , Second floor 213

Concerns about the construct validity of psychological measurements are increasing. In this lightening talk, I propose a distinction between the validity potential of psychological measurement procedures (e.g., personality tests) and the realised validity of the scores they produce in specific instance (e.g., personality test scores collected in a study) and describe how this distinction can facilitate better construct validation practices and encourage more frequent validity evidence reporting.
