Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Face validity refers to whether a measuring instrument appears, based on its face value, to measure what it is intended to measure. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Concurrent validity refers to the extent to which a measure is related to a criterion measured at the same time. Construct validity refers to the degree to which an instrument measures the theoretical construct it was designed to measure. Convergent validity refers to the extent to which scores on one measure are related to scores on another measure that assesses the same construct.
