Relationship Between Reliability and Validity
A key distinction in research methodology is that a measure can be reliable, meaning it consistently produces the same result, without being valid, as it may not accurately measure the intended concept. Conversely, any measure that is considered valid must inherently be reliable. Therefore, while validity necessitates reliability, reliability alone does not guarantee validity.
