Using Task Ease (SEQ) to Predict Completion Rates and Times

By Jeff Sauro, PhD . October 30, 2018 . Tags: , ,
Our attitudes both reflect and affect our actions. What we think affects what we do and what we do affects what we think. It’s not a perfect relationship of course. What people say or think doesn’t always directly correspond to actions in easily predictable ways. Understanding and measuring user attitudes early and often can provide a good indication of likely future behaviors. Attitudes can be

Is a Single Item Enough to Measure a Construct?

By Jeff Sauro, PhD . March 13, 2018 . Tags: , ,

Consequently, psychology, education, marketing, and user experience have a long history of recommending multiple items

While there are a number of skills, techniques, and concepts you'll want to be familiar with, I think it's essential to master these five: reliability, validity, statistical significance, experimental validity,

Assessing the Validity of Your Research

By Jeff Sauro, PhD . November 4, 2014 . Tags: ,
You often hear that research results are not "valid" or "reliable." Like many scientific terms that have made it into our vernacular, these terms are often used interchangeably. In fact, validity and reliability have different meanings with different implications for researchers. Validity refers to how well the results of a study measure what they are intended to measure. Contrast that with reliability, which means consistent
