VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

The Validity and Reliability of the scales used in research are essential factors that enable the research to yield beneficial results. For this reason, it is useful to understand how the Reliability and Validity of the scales are measured correctly by researchers. The primary purpose of this study is to provide information on how the researchers test the Validity and Reliability of the scales used in their empirical studies and to provide resources for future research. For this purpose, the concepts of Validity and Reliability are introduced, and detailed explanations have been provided regarding the main methods used in the evaluation of Validity and Reliability with examples taken from the literature. It is…
