However, we first must ensure that the measurement items used in our sample are appropriate; therefore, a reliability analysis was conducted to ensure that the measurement scales used in the study exhibited construct validity and were consistent with previous studies.
All scales and items exhibited construct validity.
Depressive symptoms are measured by the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), which has adequate inter-rater reliability and exhibits construct and concurrent validity [ 44].
For example, a rat strain that has naturally reduced PPI exhibits construct validity regarding the sensorimotor gating deficits that are theorized to be linked to the neural disturbance and the clinical manifestation of schizophrenia (the disrupted sensorimotor construct of schizophrenia).
We then assessed the performance of the RARBIS in a cohort of Veteran's Administration (VA) patients and showed that the RARBIS correlated moderately well with RA treatment intensity and thus exhibited construct validity [ 16].
The Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased his panoramic image of the Fresh Kills Landfill for its exhibit Groundswell: Constructing the Contemporary Landscape in 2005.
He also took to collecting antique tools and architectural fragments, crafting furniture and accessories out of salvaged barn parts, building authentic reproduction kits, creating educational exhibits and constructing the structural models that enliven the present exhibition.
Reinforced-concrete piled piers and jetties, soundly constructed, exhibit great durability.
It exhibits reliability, construct validity and responsiveness.
