Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A validity coefficient measures the strength of the relationship between scores on a predictor (such as a test) and scores on a criterion (such as job performance). A validity coefficient of +1.00 indicates a perfect positive relationship, meaning that as scores on the predictor increase, scores on the criterion will also increase. Therefore, the best choice is C, a positive relationship.
