What approach do the authors use to establish test-retest reliability? 2 16. What approach do the authors use to establish discriminant validity? Discriminant validity is “the ability to differentiate a construct from other similar constructs.” 5 Does the sample support inferences about external validity? To whom can the study results reasonably be generalized? – – External validity 5 Generalizability 5
