Threats To Validity In Research Presented by: Ed Davis, Mike Webb, Mike Zezech 2001 Eric Becoats, Elva Cooper, Ron Dixon 2000 Threats To Validity In Research Definition: Research Design Shows how all of the major parts of the research project-the samples, groups, measures, treatments or programs, and methods of assignment-work together to try to address the central research question. Threats To Validity In Research Internal There are several major Internal threats to generalizing the findings from a research study: History, Regression Maturation, Testing Instrumentation Mortality or Attrition External There are three major external threats to generalizing the findings from a research study: People Place Time Threats To Validity In Research Threats to Internal Validity History (defined): The occurrence of any event, which is not a part of the experimental treatment that may affect performance on the dependent variable. The longer the study lasts the more likely that history may be a problem. Threats To Validity In Research Threats to Internal Validity History (example): A series of workshops on teacher morale was being conducted. Prior to the post test measure being administered, funding affected the promised pay raise for teachers. Threats To Validity In Research Threats to Internal Validity History (example): A school safety study was being conducted. Prior to the post test measures being conducted, a series of bomb threats occurred. Parents nor students felt schools were safe. Threats To Validity In Research Threats to Internal Validity Maturation (defined): A physical or mental change in subjects. Respondents growing older, wiser, stronger or more experienced between pretest and posttest. Studies which last for long periods of time. Threats To Validity In Research Threats To Internal Validity Maturation (example): Studies with adolescent students, studies dealing with psychomotor training or a study on two methods of teaching algebra.
