While ‘reliability’ is a companion concept to validity, I will defer comment on the relationship between these ‘partners’ until a later time. Having dealt with value and valence perspectives in several recent posts (see links below), this post reflects on some uses of validity in non-profit governance and management. I have previously noted that validity, value, and valence concepts are used in the governance and management of non-profits, and that each refers in some way to notions of ‘strength’ and ‘worth’. It is also only one of the many ways validity concepts are able to inform our life and work. The validation offered by social media is a shallow version of that offered by close personal relationships of course. Organisations also seek a similar form of validation when they monitor engagement with their social media channels or seek a net promoter score from their members or clients. This emotional validation involves processes of uncovering, accepting, approving, and hopefully understanding, the emotional experience of another person. Most of us are very familiar with the kind of validation offered when others like or share our social media posts.
