    Reliability and Validity Examples

    Reliability refers to the consistency of measurement and whether the same results can be produced from repeated attempts, while validity determines if a measurement accurately evaluates the concept it aims to measure. A test can be reliable without being valid if it consistently measures something different than what it aims to, whereas a valid test is always reliable. Reliability is easier to assess than validity, which determines the accuracy of what a measurement evaluates.

    Reliability vs.

    Validity in Qualitative
    Research:
    Which is Reliability & Validity ?
    Difference between reliability and
    validity
    • Reliability: the degree to which a
    measurement procedure produces similar
    outcomes when it is repeated.
    • E.g., gender, birthplace, mother’s name—
    should be the same always—

    • Validity: tests for determining whether a


    measure is measuring the concept that the
    researcher thinks is being measured,
    • i.e., “Am I measuring what I think I am
    measuring”?
    Note:
    • a valid test is always reliable but a reliable
    test is not necessarily valid

    • e.g., measure concepts--positivism instead


    measuring nouns—invalid

    • Reliability is much easier to assess than


    validity.
