- must be outlined as part of the initial process, the nomological network consits of the factors and varibles that are theoreticaly related to the construct in question
- Differential reliablity index
- to evaluate wwheter a particualr test item has to high a correaltion with a measure of social desirability
- Internal consistency
- Homogenity exists if all scale items are tapping the same construct and there are high correlation between the item and the toal scores of items that make up the intended factor being measured

- to what extent does a measure reflect an abstract hypothetical personality differences (or question your asking)

- is the measure assocated with other measures it should be realted to either measured at the same time or later in time.
- Discriminant validity
- is a measure unrelated to a measure that it should be not related to.
- ecological validity
- does the measure predict meaningfull outcomes in the enviroment.
- factorial validity
- does the hypothses factor strucre of the emaure replciate when tested via factor analysis.
- incremental validity:
- does the measure predict significant unique varince in the outcome varible and beyond the varible attrubatble to anouther predicted varible.
- back translation
- it is perfered when translating in a scale to anouther languaage inorder to maximase language tranlsation.
- sigment freud intro
