22. 17 Convergent validity, a type of trait validity, was tested here. Since several different measures were used for each construct, convergent validity was tested using factor analysis to determine if all of the measures converged on a common statistical factor.
23. 18 Chronbach's Alphas, also a measure of trait validity, compares how well each question correlates with the combination of all the other questions measuring a construct.
24. 19 Achieving construct validity means that the theoretical phenomena identified in the research have been correctly defined and measured.
