title = "Validity evidence in the Journal of Educational Psychology: documenting current practice and a comparison with earlier practice",
abstract = "This study examined validity evidence presented in articles published in the Journal of Educational Psychology from 2000 through 2010 with the aim of documenting current validation practice. In addition, this study examined validity evidence presented in articles published from 1950 through 1960 within the same journal to provide an understanding of whether and how validation practice has changed over time. Several categories were used to assess validation practice including the articles{\textquoteright} characterization of validity, sources of evidence provided, justification for and types of comparison variables used, and number of sources presented. The results showed that current validation practice appears to conform to contemporary validity theory in several ways. At the same time, however, there were many instances where current practice was based on outdated theory and practice. Furthermore, in several cases validation practice appears to be very similar to practice conducted half a century ago.",
