B) face validity
C) convergent validity
D) construct validity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Construct validity is the validity related to the logical relationships between variables, i.e., how well a measure assesses the underlying construct it is intended to measure. Criterion-related validity concerns the ability of a measure to predict a specific outcome or behaviors. Face validity refers to how well a measure appears to measure what it is intended to measure at face value. Convergent validity relates to the degree to which two measures of constructs that theoretically should be related, are in fact related. Therefore, the best choice is D - construct validity.
