摘要

實證論中的量化研究（quantitative research）常以信度與效度的概念用字，試圖找出社會現象或社會行為的共同法則（universalism），以使得測量工具本身的客觀與可信性成為相當重要的評估指標。然而質化研究也需要對研究設計做明確的說明，甚至要比量化研究更清楚交代，因此質化研究取向仍有一套嚴謹的規範必須遵守。兩者在截然不同的認識論與本體論之下，量化研究與質化研究在信、效度的回應有截然不同的立場。本文分別對量化與質化研究來闡釋信、效度的意涵，期望供社會科學研究人員不論在進行量化或質化研究之參考準則。

The concept of validity and reliability come from quantitative research. The purpose studied in quantitative research is to find out the universalism of the social phenomenon or social behavior. The assessment indicator with the credibility objectively of survey tools that is very important. The qualitative research needs to design doing the clear explanation in studying too, even clearer than quantitative research. The qualitative research must set rigorous norms.
