Construct validity in measurement
A pattern matching approach
Abstract Construct validity refers to how well operationalizations in research reflect the theoretical constructs they are supposed to reflect. The multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix framework proposed by Campbell and Fiske (Psychology Bulletin, 56, 81–105, 1959) is the most widely known and used method for establishing construct validity. In determining if there is construct validity using the MTMM approach, researchers should have some idea or expectation of the interrelationships among constructs and the methods used to measure them. Structured conceptualization can be used to articulate the expected relationships between constructs that are being measured. The resulting theoretical concept map can then be compared with correlations in the MTMM matrix using a pattern matching approach to assess the degree of construct validity evidenced.
