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 ...

This paper examined the issues surrounding the inconsistencies in previous research on AtL in studies focused on prekindergarten children. One consistency included the broad set of characteristics attributed to the construct of AtL, resulting in a jingle fallacy. Another inconsistency occurred when ...
Less effort has been spent in investigating construct overlap to prevent bifurcated literatures, wasted research efforts, and jingle-jangle fallacies. For example, researchers could gather validity evidence to evaluate if two measures with the same label actually assess different constructs (jingle fallacy...

Insufficient construct validation can lead to the jingle fallacy—falsely assuming two instruments measure the same construct because the instruments share a name (Thorndike, 1904)—and the jangle fallacy—falsely assuming two instruments measure different constructs because the instruments have different ...
