Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predictive validity is when the researcher collects data on the scale at one point in time and then collects data on the criterion variables at a future time to assess how well the scale predicts future outcomes. This is different from concurrent validity, which assesses how well the scale and criterion variables are related at the same point in time. Convergent validity assesses how well the scale is related to other measures of the same construct, while discriminant validity assesses how well the scale is distinct from measures of different constructs.
