Convergent validity is a measure of construct validity that examines whether a scale correlates positively with other established measures of the same construct. It is a way of demonstrating that a scale is measuring what it is intended to measure. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B (discriminant validity) measures the extent to which a scale does not correlate with measures of different constructs, option C (nomological validity) measures the extent to which a scale correlates with measures of related constructs and option D (content validity) measures the extent to which a scale adequately covers all the dimensions of the construct it is intended to measure. Option E is not a recognized measure of validity.
