%X The construct validity of the Meta-cognitive Awareness of Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI; Mokhtari & Reichard, 2002) was tested with 189 college students, and its convergent validity with reading comprehension ability was investigated. Reading ability was assessed using self-report and standardized measures. Results demonstrate weak construct validity of the MARSI, suggesting that the current form of the MARSI is not appropriate for use with students who are very proficient in reading (i.e., grade level equivalents beyond 12th grade). More theoretically-based quantitative and qualitative studies using the MARSI are warranted.
