Validity refers to how well a study or experiment measures what it claims to measure, and the soundness of the conclusions drawn from it. It is about the accuracy and truthfulness of the findings, and is a key consideration in evaluating the quality of research. Reliability, accuracy, and stability are related concepts, but are not the same as validity.
