DESCRIPTION:This session will examine the evolution of thinking on validit
 y\, from the early 20th century to the present day. It will attempt to ide
 ntify the central tenets of modern validity theory and to determine how it
  departs from validity theory of yesteryear. Scrutiny of a range of recent
  reports will reveal differences of opinion from within the ‘mainstream
 ’ camp. Participants will be encouraged to consider whether certain elem
 ents of the supposed consensus are more central than others and to form th
 eir own opinion on the extent to which different versions of the ‘mainst
 ream’ account are compatible.
