Abstract
Instrument development is an arduous task that, if undertaken with care and consideration, can lay the foundation for the development of validity arguments relating to the inferences and decisions that are based on test measures. This article, Part I of a two-part series, provides an overview of validity concepts and describes how instrument development efforts can be conducted to facilitate the development of validity arguments. Our discussion focuses on documentation of the purpose of measurement, creation of test specifications, item development, expert review, and planning of pilot studies. Through these instrument development activities and tools, essential information is documented that will feed into the analysis, summary, and reporting of data relevant to validity arguments discussed in Part II of this series.
