Response process validity is the extent to which the actions and thought processes of survey responders demonstrate that they understand the construct in the same way it is defined by the researchers. In other words, it questions whether respondents understand survey questions to mean what we intend. There is no statistical test for this type of validity, but rather it is examined through respondent observation, interviews, and feedback. This document summarizes findings from a response process validity study of the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE).
