Low correlations with tests measuring different constructs provide ____ evidence for the score validity of an instrument.
A) convergent
B) concurrent
C) discriminant
D) predictive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discriminant validity is demonstrated by low correlations between the measure and other tests measuring different constructs. This indicates that the measure is not simply measuring the same construct as other tests, and supports the validity of the measure. Convergent validity refers to high correlations between the measure and other tests measuring the same construct, concurrent validity refers to correlations with a criterion measure collected at the same time, and predictive validity refers to correlations with a criterion measure collected at a later time.
