Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Construct validity measures how well a measure assesses the dimensions of a theoretical concept. It evaluates whether a measure is capable of assessing the intended construct or theoretical concept accurately. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A and B are incorrect because construct validity is not concerned with a specific population or target population. Option C is incorrect because construct validity is not related to the timing of the assessment. Option E is also incorrect because dimensions of reliability are different from dimensions of construct validity.
