Predictive validity involves studying the correlation between a predictor variable (in this case, test scores obtained before making decisions) and a criterion variable (in this case, criterion scores obtained after making decisions). Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B, concurrent validity, involves studying the correlation between two measures that are taken at the same time. Option C, construct validity, involves studying whether a measure is actually measuring what it is intended to measure. Option D, decision making, is not a type of validity strategy.
