A researcher develops a questionnaire to assess the personality trait of impulsivity among adults. In a journal article, she presents evidence that college students tend to get essentially the same score if they take the test twice, 2 months apart. She also presents the average score, the highest score, and the lowest score obtained by two large samples: one done with 2,000 college students and another done with 750 adults who are not in college. However, when one reviews the sample questionnaire items, it seems clear that they relate more to whether a person is sociable, outgoing, and fun than to whether an individual is impulsive. As a result, one would question the of the researcher's questionnaire.

validity      

Explanation:

Validity: In research methods, the term "validity" is determined as the degree to which a particular measurement, concept, or conclusion is being well-founded or described and therefore accurately and precisely corresponds towards the real world. In other words, it is described as one of the different measurement tools that generally measures what it claimed to measure.

In the question above, one would question the validity of the researcher's questionnaire because it didn't measure what it should have been.

well it depends i think people around the world are coming around to gay marriage. but if you are talking abortion then wow, so much to talk about. such as men thinking they have the right to choose if women can, the fact there are health concerns if the women can't get one, and many more arguments to discuss. so i would definitely say abortion would be a much more interesting topic.
