Construct validity
All forms of validity fall under the guise of construct validity
Construct validity is the all-encompassing form of validity evidence where the construct of interest is measured in a precise and accurate fashion while being interpretable within the population. All forms of validity evidence fall under the guise of construct validity. As researchers acquire more types of validity evidence, they will be generating more evidence of construct validity.
The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) also yields important construct validity evidence. If the pilot study yielded a large enough sample size to conduct an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with principal components analysis, then employing a CFA will generate evidence that can either confirm or deny the internal structure of the construct.
