Significance of Reliability and validity
Reliability and validity play crucial roles in both Tibetan Buddhism and scientific research. In Tibetan Buddhism, they reflect the dependability of the Veda's claims. In scientific terms, reliability refers to the consistency of measurement tools, while validity ensures that instruments accurately gauge their intended constructs. Various assessments, such as the Malay version of the PSS-10, the DASS-21, and the ICAST-CH-M tool, illustrate the importance of these concepts in gauging the accuracy and stability of surveys measuring stress perception, insomnia, maltreatment, and quality of life.
