建构效度是心理学中最核心的概念之一。研究者通常通过将一个指标与其他一些指标相关联，并从相关性的模式中论证该指标与这些变量以理论上可预测的方式相关联来建立该指标的结构效度。本文提出了两个简单的指标量化结构效度，提供效果大小估计，表明在收敛判别效度矩阵中观察到的相关模式与理论预测的相关模式相匹配的程度。两项措施。基于油对比分析，提供简单的有效性估计，可以在研究，结构之间进行比较。和措施的元分析盟友，并可以在不使用复杂的统计程序，可能会限制他们的访问。
Construct validity is one of the most central concepts in psychology. Researchers generally establish the construct validity of a measure by correlating it with a number of other measures and arguing from the pattern of correlations that the measure is associated with these variables in theoretically predictable ways. This article presents 2 simple metrics for quantifying construct validity that provide effect size estimates indicating the extent to which the observed pattern of correlations in a convergent-discriminant validity matrix matches the theoretically predicted pattern of correlations. Both measures. based oil contrast analysis, provide simple estimates of validity that can be compared across studies, constructs. and measures meta-analytic ally, and can be implemented without the use of complex statistical procedures that may limit their accessibility.
