Abstract

Data validity is as critical an issue for practice as it is for research. This Research Note is a brief account of an effort to subject family functioning data to a validity analysis by using multiple informants. Results indicate that knowledge about variations in degree of validity by subject areas canenhance the quality of data for use in professional practice.
