Abstract

[The objectives of this chapter are to provide an overview of standards and guidelines for validation practices in developing and evaluating measurement instruments, as well as to examine the extent to which these standards and guidelines are in line with the contemporary theories of validity. Standards and guidelines such as the AERA, APA, and NCME’s Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance for industry (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures: Use in Medical Product Development to Support Labeling Claims), Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist, Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology’s (SIOP) Principles for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures, and European Federation of Psychologists’ Association’s (EFPA) test evaluation model are reviewed. These standards and guidelines cover different sources of validity and they do not appear to reflect the issues, foci, and theoretical orientations seen in contemporary views of validity (e.g., Kane, Messick, Zumbo).]
