Question

A survey is created to measure dietary habits. The survey asks questions about each meal and snack consumed for each day of the week. The survey seems like a good representation of measuring dietary habits. This survey would be considered to have high ______ validity.

Answer 1

Answer:

Face validity

Step-by-step explanation:

In quantitative research in mathematics, we have four major types of validity namely;

- Content Validity

- Construct validity

- Criterion validity

- Face validity.

Now;

> Construct validity seeks to find out if the tool used in measurement is a true representation of what is really going to be measured.

> Content Validity seeks to find out whether a test covers every part of a particular subject being tested.

> Face validity seeks to find out how true a test is by looking at it on the surface.

> Criterion validity seeks to find out the relationship of a particular test to that of another test.

Now, in this question, we are told that The survey seems like a good representation of measuring dietary habits after just asking questions about each meal and snack they consumed for the week. Thus, it is a face validity because it just appears true on the surface to be a good representation but we don't know if it is effective until we go deep like content validity
