In the context of the construct validity of measures, tests that are developed to evaluate future performance of students are based on

 

convergent validity.

 

 divergent validity.

 

 predictive validity.

 

 discriminant validity.

 

Question 2Edgar finds his measure of intelligence, his intelligence quotient, is not related to his maximum sprinting speed. Which type of validity does this finding illustrate?

 

predictive validity

 

 face validity

 

 discriminant validity

 

 convergent validity

 

Question 3Ciara finds a high correlation between her scores on intimacy and self-disclosure, which are both measures of her emotional quotient. In the context of the indicators of construct validity of a measure, Ciara’s scores indicate

 

face validity.

 

 convergent validity.

 

 predictive validity.

 

 discriminant validity.

 

Question 4In ________, scores on the measure are related to other measures of the same construct or similar constructs.

 

convergent validity

 

 face validity

 

 concurrent validity

 

 predictive validity

 

Question 5Which statement accurately differentiates face validity and discriminant validity?

 

In face validity, the content of the measure appears to measure what it is supposed to measure, whereas in discriminant validity, the measure is not related to variables with which it should not be related.

 

 In face validity, scores on the measure predict behavior on a criterion measured at a future time, whereas in discriminant validity, scores on the measure are related to a criterion measured at the same time concurrently.

 

 In face validity, scores on the measure are related to other measures of the same construct, whereas in discriminant validity, the content of the measure is linked to the universe of content that defines the construct.

 

 In face validity, scores on the measure have no correlation with the construct, whereas in discriminant validity, scores on the measure are related to other measures of a different construct.
