✨ New Publication Alert: Survey Item Validation in Elsevier’s Reference Module in Social Sciences
I’m excited to share my latest publication, “Survey Item Validation,” now available in the Elsevier Reference Module in Social Sciences (2025 Edition) on ScienceDirect.
This article takes a deep dive into the fascinating world of survey item validation — a cornerstone of research reliability and credibility. It explores how carefully designed and validated survey instruments ensure that what we measure truly reflects the realities we seek to understand.
What the Article Covers
In this work, I discuss both the theoretical foundations and practical techniques of survey item validation. Topics include:
- Construct, content, and criterion validity
- Expert validation, pilot testing, and factor analysis
- Structural equation modeling and measurement invariance
- The growing role of AI and immersive technologies in modern validation practices
Beyond the traditional framework, the article also reflects on the emerging challenges faced by researchers today — from cultural adaptation to limited resources — and how innovative methods can help overcome them.
Why It Matters
As research across disciplines becomes more data-driven, valid and reliable instruments are essential for generating meaningful insights. This publication highlights how strong validation practices not only enhance academic rigor but also support more informed and ethical decision-making in society.
