Summary/Abstract: In a previous article (Răcășan, 2019) we presented main aspects regarding the Participation Measurement Questionnaire [PMQ] development, while in Răcășan (2020) we summarized a part of PMQ psychometric properties analyze in a group of visually impaired persons, by analyzing the factorial structure of the instrument to decide whether the one-dimensional analysis of internal or sub-scale consistency is correct. Depending on the one-dimensional or multi-dimensional structure that emerged from the analysis of the main components, we also analyzed the fidelity of the instrument using the alpha Cronbach coefficient. In the current paper, we continue with construct validity analyze of the instrument for the same group of participants. Overall, the instrument has proven to have adequate psychometric properties to be used for research purposes, while additional analysis is necessary, with larger samples, for its use for other purposes.
