Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Criterion-related validity can be assessed through two approaches - predictive validity and concurrent validity. Predictive validity is demonstrated when a measure accurately predicts a future behavior or outcome, and concurrent validity is demonstrated when a measure correlates with a criterion that is measured at the same time. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they either incorrectly identify one of the approaches (A and D) or provide unrelated validity types (B).
