The Construct Validity of the Leisure Activities Questionnaire and of the Paragraphs about Leisure.

Tinsley, Howard E. A.; Kass, Richard A.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v40 n1 p219-26 Spr 1980

A multitrait-multimethod matrix was computed to compare the descriptions of 10 traits (leisure activities) obtained by using the Leisure Activities Questionnaire (LAQ) and the Paragraphs about Leisure (PAL). The two procedures revealed a high degree of convergent and discriminant validity for the two instruments. (Author/BW)
