Chara (1989) recently questioned the construct validity of the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) on empirical grounds. Unfortunately, Chara in that paper has erroneously construed construct validity as independent of criterion-related validity. This error is compounded by Chara and Verplanck's 1986 assumption that the VVIQ assesses purely memory imagery. Further problems arise from Chara's 1989 selective reporting of the relevant literature. Comprehensive review of the VVIQ literature in its totality is necessary before conclusions are possible concerning the questionnaire's construct validity.
查拉（1989年）最近基于实证依据对视觉意象生动性问卷（VVIQ）的结构效度提出了质疑。不幸的是，查拉在该论文中错误地将结构效度理解为与效标关联效度无关。查拉和弗勒普朗克1986年认为VVIQ纯粹评估记忆意象的假设使这一错误更加严重。此外，查拉1989年对相关文献的选择性报告也引发了更多问题。在就该问卷的结构效度得出结论之前，有必要对VVIQ文献进行全面的整体回顾。
