RESUMO
Desde o trabalho de Cronbach e Meehl dos meados do século passado, o conceito de validade dos testes em Psicologia e Educação vem perdendo o seu sentido original. Embora os autores quisessem precisamente salvar esse conceito, a introdução do modelo da rede nomológica, concebida dentro da visão do positivismo lógico veio, na verdade, destruir o conceito de validade, originalmente concebido por Kelly na década de 1920 e, depois, por Cattell. O conceito de validade, finalmente, foi totalmente descaracterizado com a definição do mesmo dada pelo grande psicometrista Samuel Messick, em 1989. Parece fundamental que esse conceito seja redescoberto para salvar as bases da Psicometria. A exposição procura mostrar as confusões que o modelo da rede nomológica introduziu em Psicometria e tentar recuperar o verdadeiro significado de validade no contexto das medidas em ciências psicossociais, em particular, em Psicologia e Educação.
ABSTRACT
Since the work of Cronbach and Meehl of mid last century, the concept of validity of the tests in Psychology and Education has been loosing its original meaning. Despite the intention of the authors to precisely save this concept, the introduction of the model of the nomological network, conceived within the framework of the logical positivism, was in fact decisive to destroy the concept of validity as originally conceived by Kelly in the 1920s and later on by Cattell. The concept of validity was finally completely mischaracterized with the definition given by the great psychometrist Samuel Messick in 1989. It seems to be fundamental that this concept is rediscovered in order to save the bases of Psychometry. The present article will try to show the confusion that the nomological network model brought to Psychometry and also to try to recuperate the real meaning of validity within the context of the measures in psychosocial sciences, especially in Psychology and Education.
