Correct codes for the wrong reasons? validating LLMs as measurement instruments for theoretical constructs
arXiv:2606.28574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a large language model (LLM) codes a construct in text as a human annotator would, that agreement makes the LLM a reliable coder. Yet reliability leaves construct validity untouched. The instrument may be theory-naive, reaching the code through a correlate that meets
