To aid in the securing of validity for quantitative research here are a few questions to ask during the creation of a quantitative study:
- what prior studies have used this particular instrument? What were the outcomes?
- Is the use of my instrument for data collection of similar purposes?
- Do my interviews verify my data collection instrument? (Creswell, 2012, p. 163)
