Discriminant Validity of the Leisure Activity Questionnaire and the Paragraphs about Leisure.

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

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v40 n1 p227-33 Spr 1980

Hit rates obtained in two cross-validation administrations of the Leisure Activity Questionnaire (LAQ) and the Paragraphs about Leisure (PAL) were determined. It was concluded that use of PAL, with results reported in terms of factor scores, is in the most valid and parsimonious measurement strategy of those investigated. (Author/BW)
