Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity generalization refers to the process of applying validity evidence collected in one setting to another setting. Therefore, it is the only choice that directly relates to the question of whether validity information from previous studies can be applied to a new setting. Moderator analysis examines the factors that influence the relationship between variables, psychological fidelity refers to the degree to which a simulation accurately represents real-world conditions, and suppressor variables are variables that improve the predictive power of a relationship by eliminating the influence of extraneous variables. While each of these concepts may be important in certain contexts, none of them directly address the question of applying validity evidence to a new setting.
