Birth Attitudes Survey
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:STAT 550
1. Neil's question on question order randomization is interesting for it addresses the issue that many of the questions seem to elicit highly correlated responses. In that vein of thought, can we use some of the questions within this survey to test for internal validity?
2. To test for internal validity we could use Cronbach's alpha technique. In this case, what is the best way to define the score function (the question the researchers have posed is not well-defined)? Should it be weighted for different questions?
3. Do the researchers have other results or variables related to this survey that we can use to test the present results' construct validity?
