Construct validity refers to the extent to which a measure is related to other measures in a manner consistent with theoretical predictions concerning the constructs being measured. Convergent and discriminant validity are two aspects of construct validity, where convergent validity refers to the extent to which a measure correlates with other measures of the same construct, and discriminant validity refers to the extent to which a measure does not correlate with measures of unrelated constructs. Therefore, if an instrument has both convergent and discriminant validity, it can be assumed that it has good construct validity.
