Abstract

The purpose of the present chapter is to evaluate the validity evidence for the Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey (MOS-SS). Specifically, the authors were interested in if validity evidence reflected the use of the MOS-SS in population health research rather than individual differences research. The authors has three major research questions: (a) What were the characteristics of the samples in which validity was evaluated? (b) Were samples representative of populations? and (c) What sources of validity evidence have been evaluated? (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
