ABSTRACT
Evaluating measurement quality in sport psychology is intimately tied to the matter of research quality, as measurement doccur in a vacuum independent from the researcher and the researched. Complicating matters further is that questions of measurement quality vary greatly depending on whether the research uses a quantitative or qualitative approach. The implication is that we cannot adequately discuss measurement quality without understanding the context within which the research takes place, as well as the quality of the research design. A reminder that construct validity, which can more formally be defined as the degree to which a researcher’s measurement of a construct is representative of the theoretical and observational phenomena on which the measure is based, is at the root of measurement quality in quantitative sport psychology research. Member checking involves researchers inviting participants to review the data generated by the research and to make any changes they feel are necessary to more accurately reflect the experiences.
