Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for this issue is reliability. If a scale is unreliable, it will give inconsistent results when used repeatedly, such as giving different weights every time someone steps on it. Face validity refers to whether a measure appears to be assessing what it is intended to assess. Construct validity refers to whether a measure accurately measures the construct it is supposed to measure. Split-half validity refers to the consistency of a measure when it is split in half and compared.
