This study is assessing interrater reliability, which measures the consistency of the scores given by two different raters (the two graduate students) when evaluating the same interview. The study is not assessing concurrent validity, which measures how well the interview scores correlate with scores from another established measure of eating disorders. It is also not assessing interrater validity, as validity refers to whether the test measures what it is supposed to measure, and not how consistently different raters score it.
