Questionable Measurement Practices (QMP)
Definition: Decisions researchers make that raise doubts about the validity of measures used in a study, and ultimately the study’s final conclusions (Flake & Fried, 2020). Issues arise from a lack of transparency in reporting measurement practices, a failure to address construct validity, negligence, ignorance, or deliberate misrepresentation of information.
