Investigating Validity Evidence for the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Questionnaire (2006, unknown): “Benson (1998) described a three-step approach to developing a strong program for construct validity, which includes (a) a substantive component, (b) a structural component, and (c) an external component.”
Measuring basic needs satisfaction: Evaluating previous research and conducting new psychometric evaluations of the Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (2010, methodology): “Specifically, the theoretical domain is representative of all information known about the construct; it is the ‘‘scientific theory surrounding the construct” (Benson, 1998, p. 12).”

The findings that test–retest kappas for diagnoses are typically smaller than the rs for empirically based scales are not mere artifacts of differences between the formulas for kappa versus r. As pointed out by the inventor of kappa (Cohen, 1960), the magnitude of kappa closely approximates the ”

What Is Diversity? (2010, background): “Structural Validity According to Benson (1998), the establishment of construct validity for the relations among identity groups and among measures of teacher beliefs about such groups requires an examination of the extent to which identitybased beliefs and responsibility varies in expected ways…”
