Dr. Rakesh Maurya, an expert on qualitative methodologies, explains construct validity in research. He currently works at the University of North Florida, U.S.A., and teaches qualitative research to doctoral students.
In this video, we delve into the concept of construct validity, a critical aspect of research methodology. Construct validity refers to the degree to which a test or instrument accurately measures the theoretical construct it is intended to measure. Understanding and establishing construct validity is essential for ensuring the reliability and credibility of your research findings.
