Construct validity is described as the degree in which a study<em> actually</em> measures what it claims to be measuring. A well-designed research will ideally have high construct validy, while a poorly designed one may confound the variables and result in measuring a different aspect.
For example, if a researcher tries to find which of two perfumes is more attractive to customers, <u>but uses different shaped or coloured bottles</u>, it's possible that the test will lack construct validity (the bottles may affect the customers' opinions).
Some people argued for equality for women. Women received more work opportunities in the field of education. Women were viewed as having natural rights just like men.
