文献中缺乏关于如何开发评估内容效度的程序以增加评估工具的可信度的详细信息。作者提出了三个独特的例子，解释，以及用于生成这些估计的规格表（ToS）的应用。ToS的开发和逻辑要求提供具有透明度的证据，并通过维护审计跟踪和使用三角测量、专家汇报和同行评审，在有效性估计中创造可信度。提出的论点是，内容有效性需要混合方法方法，因为数据是通过相互通知的定性和定量方法开发的。这个过程是迭代的，并通过确定共识的过程对ToS的有效性提供反馈。
There is paucity of detailed information in the literature on how to develop procedures for estimating content validity to increase trustworthiness of assessment instruments. The authors present three unique examples, interpretation, and application of Tables of Specifications (ToS) for generating these estimates. The development and logic of the ToS requires presenting evidence that has transparency and creates trustworthiness in the validity estimates by maintaining an audit trail and using of triangulation, expert debriefing, and peer review. The argument presented is that content validity requires a mixed methods approach since data are developed through qualitative and quantitative methods that inform each other. This process is iterative and provides feedback on the effectiveness of the ToS through a process of determining consensus.
