Constructs, Validity and the Narrative Response Model with Gjalt-Jorn Peters

In our second episode, we continue our conversation on Constructs with Gjalt-Jorn, GJ, Peters. We then move on to the measurement of these constructs and the difficulties in assessing the validity of our measurements. GJ introduces us to the idea of Narrative Response Models as a tool to link constructs to measurement instruments and assess their validity.If you are unsatisfied with current ways to assess validity and want to think more deeply about the connection between what we want to measure and how we measure it, this episode is for you! Learn more about the Conceptualization, Formalization and Measurement interest group here: https://cfm.opens.science/Here are some resources for your further study:GJ’s website: https://www.behaviorchange.eu/GJ’s preprint on Narrative Response Models: https://doi.org/px2z DCT website: https://open.lnu.se/index.php/metapsychology/article/view/3638Denny Borsboom, Angelique Cramer, Rogier Kievit, Annemarie Zand Scholten, Sanja Franic (2009).
