Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concurrent validity refers to the degree to which two measures administered at the same time are related. In this scenario, the new measure of self-efficacy is positively correlated with a standardized measure of self-efficacy, thus indicating concurrent validity. Divergent validity refers to the degree to which two measures that should not be related are in fact unrelated. Predictive validity refers to the degree to which a measure is able to predict a future outcome. Reliability refers to the consistency and precision of a measure.
