The success related to improved content validity can be attributed to the development of more difficult items.
The comparatively lower internal consistency of N and E might be of concern to some readers, as the lower criterion validity might be attributed to a lack of reliability.
The P-value is a conditional probability of the data, provided that some assumptions are met, but what really interests the investigator is the inverse probability: what degree of validity can be attributed to each of several competing hypotheses, once that certain data have been observed [ 12].
Differences in construct validity also may be attributed to differences in culture, and the willingness of participants to disclose their vulnerability to chronic illness and the health-related challenges of HIV [ 47].
Finally, the accuracy with which an agent-based model will predict and capture the global behaviours observed in a biological system heavily relies on the validity of the rules attributed to the system (in addition to the level of detail embedded in the model).
In terms of community-based obesity treatment programs, the external validity (i.e., generalizability to other populations and settings) and internal validity (i.e., change attributed to the intervention alone and not to an alternative factor) have received less attention, resulting in a major knowledge gap in our understanding of how such interventions may work in the real world [ 6– 8].
Francis also said a Vatican committee had accepted the validity of a second miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul.
Differences in construct validity between Canada and Ireland may be attributed to the mechanism in which the HDQ and reference measures were administered.
This may not only be attributed to poor validity of the QLQ-C30, but also because surgery could temporarily limit the patients' activity then change their physical and role functioning which need much longer time to recover after discharge, but not have direct and main effect on other functioning, symptoms, and a global health status/QoL scale.
The external component refers to the validity with which meaning can be attributed to the numerical values.
