Another reason why a questionnaire with high

levels of both reliability and validity is most suited for

undergoing the validation process is that it is o en much

easier to validate a well-developed questionnaire because

the methodological basis for a questionnaire validation

study will usually be directly adopted from the core

methodologic approach for the initial development of the

original questionnaire. Therefore, if the original

questionnaire has been shown to have an adequate level of

both reliability and validity, then it is more likely for it to

also be reliable and valid when it has been administered to

the other respondent populations provided that the

translation into another language has been accurately

done (Toobert & Glasgow, 1994; Bujang et. al., 2016).
