Imagine that you are developing a new assessment. State what your new instrument is designed to measure (this is known as the construct; i.e., depression, anxiety, introversion, friendliness, marital satisfaction, job satisfaction, attentiveness, impulsivity, distractibility, happiness, math skills, aggression, etc.; it can be anything you want but should be related to psychology). Next, identify one type of reliability and one type of validity and state how you will go about measuring them (see the different types of reliability and validity in your text). How will you determine whether your level of reliability and validity are adequate? Reference your textbook and at least one other source using APA style. List your references at the end of your discussion. This assignment should be a minimum of 100 words.
