Abstract
The current study examined the construct validity of Aha! Ratings in insight problem solving. We measure three constructs from traditional Aha! Ratings, Suddenness, Effort, and Confidence. These measures demonstrated low agreement in categorizing Aha! solutions. The findings suggest that Aha! Ratings may lack construct validity as a measure of insight.
