Bornstein and Validity

Consider Bornstein’s (2011) process focused (PF) Model approach to validity.

Bornstein, R. F. (2011). Toward a process focused model of test score validity: Improving psychological assessment in science and practice. Psychological Assessment, 23 (2), 532 – 544.

Then consider a construct (psychological variable) of interest in your specialty area, and a test (you can use the Buros website to select one) designed to assess that specific construct. .

1. Compare and contrast the PF and traditional models of validity.

2. Describe why Bornstein maintains that it is important to use the PF model of validity.

3. Using the 4 steps outlined by Bornstein how would you assess validity for your chosen construct and selected test to assess that construct?

***The construct (psychological variable) is employee job satisfaction. My test (measurement) is the MSQ (Minnesota Satisfaction
