Doing Validation in ActiveRecord for Rails

I am in the process of validating in ActiveRecord with rails and I had a question. When you're validating something in customer method can you just use the attribute name flat out or do I have to use the "@" symbol as if its an instance I'm handling? So which of the ways below is correct? Thank you very much I appreciate it!

For example:

if(@person.name == "Chris")
end

if(name == "Chris")

I think I don't understand well your questions, but I would like to help you. If you are validating into method of Class should be:

def self.validateName(name)
  if(name == "Chris")
    something ..
end

If you are validating into view

if(@person.name == "Chris")
end

If the name is comming via params to the controller

if(params[:name] == "Chris")
end

I hope help you :)
