Evidencias sobre la validez de contenido: avances teóricos y métodos para su estimación (2013, background): “Según esta propuesta, un instrumento contará con una adecuada validez de contenido cuando, además de correlacionar de manera significativa con otra herramienta que evalúe la misma dimensión, se haya producido un cambio por el efecto de una intervención específicamente destinada a modificar dicha var”
A Suggested Change in Terminology and Emphasis Regarding Validity and Education (2007, background): “Writers of the late 1940s and early 1950s began to evidence what, in retrospect, might be described as dissatisfaction with the manner in which validity was defined, moving from empirical approaches to those that were more theoretical in nature (Sireci, 1998).”
On the validity of useless tests (2016, background): “The earliest definitions of validity There are several comprehensive accounts of validity history (e.g. Kane, 2013; Messick, 1989; Newton & Shaw, 2013; Sireci, 1998; Sireci & Sukin, 2013) and so I will not provide an exhaustive review here.”

On Validity Theory and Test Validation (2007, background): “Lissitz and Samuelsen imply that a focus on construct validity has impeded investigations of test content, and I agree ( Sireci, 1998a ).”
