| Abstract: | Organizational consultants are dependent on the validity of their assessments to be effective in their work. Within psychology, the article by Campbell and Fiske (1959) on convergent and discriminant validity by the multirait-multimethod matrix was the most frequently cited in the history of the journal where it was published. This article suggests how authority dynamics in classrooms impede students from understanding key concepts, describes how students were taught to use the matrix by experiential methods, shows better convergent and discriminant validity for an experientially developed trait than for one established by other procedures, and implies that concepts of validity can be made more accessible by using experiential methods. |
