Abstract

In a systematic examination of scales commonly used in L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) research, Al-Hoorie et al. (2024) found discriminant validity problems. Raising jangle fallacy concerns, they argue that substantive research should be paused until validity issues are ironed out. However, validity at the measurement level is dependent on validity at the construct level. Replication attempts can fail when models are poorly theorized. To resolve problems at the measurement level, problems at the construct level need to be addressed.

L2 动机自我系统研究中的 "叮叮当当 "谬误：对 Al-Hoorie 等人（2024）的回应

Al-Hoorie 等人（2024 年）对 L2MSS（L2 Motivational Self System）研究中常用的量表进行了系统检查，发现存在判别效度问题。他们提出了 "谬误"（jangle fallacy）问题，认为在效度问题得到解决之前，应暂停实质性研究。然而，测量层面的有效性取决于构造层面的有效性。如果模型的理论性不强，复制尝试就会失败。要解决测量层面的问题，就必须解决建构层面的问题。

期刊介绍： Applied Linguistics publishes research into language with relevance to real-world problems. The journal is keen to help make connections between fields, theories, research methods, and scholarly discourses, and welcomes contributions which critically reflect on current practices in applied linguistic research. It promotes scholarly and scientific discussion of issues that unite or divide scholars in applied linguistics. It is less interested in the ad hoc solution of particular problems and more interested in the handling of problems in a principled way by reference to theoretical studies.
