Convergent validity
Test associations with similar measures
Convergent validity is evidence of a survey's ability to positively correlate with other instruments that measure for theoretically or conceptually similar constructs. Bivariate correlation analyses are used to generate convergent validity evidence. Pearson's r and Spearman's rho are often used.
If a statistically significant correlation is found between the composite or subscale scores of a survey and the scores of similar instruments, then evidence of convergent validity is assumed. A convergent validity coefficient of 0.3 must be obtained for the evidence to be relevant.
