Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A validity coefficient summarizes the degree of relationship between a predictor and a criterion. It indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, and is a measure of how well the predictor can be used to forecast the criterion. Face validity and reliability estimates are not measures of the relationship between two variables, and a correlation matrix is a table that displays the correlations among multiple variables.
