Suppose you come across each of the surveys described below. Which issue seems to be the bigger problem, validity or reliability?
a. You see a survey in a magazine about the quality of your relationship with your significant other. The items on the survey ask questions about your favorite color, favorite food, and favorite type of music.
b. You complete a survey as part of a research study on eating behaviors of college students. The items ask how much you like to eat different types of foods. You complete the survey once while you are hungry and then again one year later after you have eaten a large meal. Overall, your ratings are lower the second time you take the survey.
