Reliabilityrefers to consistencyor stabilityof measurement. Can our measure or other form of observation be confirmed by further measurements or observations? If you measure the same thing would you get the same score? Validityrefers to the suitabilityor meaningfulnessof the measurement. Does this instrument describe accurately the construct I am attempting to measure? In statistical terms: Validity is analogous to unbiasedness (valid = unbiased) Reliability is analogous to variance (low Reliability = high variance)2 Reliability & Validity -3 Reliability The observed score on an instrument can be divided into two parts: Observed score = true score + error An instrument is said to be reliable if it accurately reflects the true score, and thus minimizes the error component.
