Content validity refers to the extent to which a measure assesses the intended construct or trait. In this case, Brenda's use of experts to review the test is an example of content validity, as they ensure that the test adequately measures factors related to school refusal. Predictive validity refers to the ability of a test to predict future outcomes, factor structure refers to the underlying dimensions or factors that a test measures, and consequential validity refers to the potential positive or negative consequences of using a test.
