Check whether your measures support the conclusions you want to make

Check whether items and scales support the inferences that later models are expected to carry.

When this support is useful

When a survey, instrument, latent construct, or score needs scrutiny before outcome modeling.

  • Does the measure behave as intended?
  • Is factor analysis warranted?
  • Is the same construct measured across groups?

How the decision is approached

The workflow starts with the research question and data-generating structure. Methods and software follow from that logic, with assumptions, alternatives, and failure modes recorded before conclusions are polished.

  • Item screening and reliability
  • EFA and CFA
  • Invariance and Rasch/IRT where appropriate

What a defensible handover can include

Deliverables are agreed to fit the decision and the people who must review or continue the work. They are not a fixed bundle of software output.

  • Measurement decision log
  • Factor-analysis summary
  • Validity limitations
