The degree to which an instrument really measures what it intends to measure is called ?

A.Construct
B.Reliability
C.Validity
D.All the above

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The degree to which an instrument really measures what it intends to measure is validity. A test of anxiety is valid only if it measures anxiety and not something else.

Reliability is the consistency of results on repeated use, and a construct is an abstract idea that the instrument tries to measure, so neither is the answer. 'All the above' is wrong for that reason. A test can be reliable without being valid, but it cannot be valid unless it is reliable, so the two ideas are linked but distinct.

Answer: B

The sequence of steps in the research process is selection of the topic, review of literature, collection of data, analysis, interpretation and report writing. The review of literature comes before data collection, and the report is written after the results have been interpreted.

The first option puts report writing before interpretation, and the other two collect data before the review of literature, so none of them follows the proper order.

Answer: C

The key treats both statements as true and the reason as explaining the assertion. To improve the visibility of professional social work, much of its research should be action oriented. Lack of action research is not the only reason for its limited visibility, which suggests that other reasons are also at work.

The key's code is (C). The options that call the assertion or the reason false are rejected.
