Construct Validity

The extent to which a survey truly measures the construct it is intended to measure.

Construct validity asks whether an instrument truly measures the intended construct. Evidence comes from theory alignment, expected group differences, and correlations with related measures.

Pilot studies in the Puppet Interview app help gather this evidence during early development.
