If the survey was being designed by someone else, then describe the previous validity
and reliability assessments. When using an existing instrument, researcher wants to perform
the same reliability measurement as the author of the instrument. If the researcher had
developed his own survey, then he must describe the steps he took to assess its validity
and a description of how the reliability was measured
Validity- refers to the accuracy or truthfulness of a measure. Are we measuring what
we think we are? There are no statistical tests to measure validity. All assessments of
validity are subjective opinions based on the judgment of the researcher. Nevertheless,
there are at least three types of validity that should be addressed and the researcher
should state what steps he took to assess validity
