Items related to Validity and the Research Process
Synopsis
Researchers in the social sciences are often in fundamental disagreement about what constitutes validity. Brinberg and McGrath point out that research is not advanced by these diverse concepts of validity nor the uniform stress on technical applications to attain it. Instead, they propose a new way of viewing validity issues that they call the Validity Network Schema. They present a comprehensive view of the research process that ties together previously separate views of validity.
