Two researchers wanted to determine if their new scale of people's aversion to technology was a valid measure of the construct. On the surface, the items seem to be related to distaste for technological advances. Additionally, in an initial cross-sectional study of the scale, they found that people who scored high on aversion to technology were unlikely to own smartphones, tablet computers, or an electronic navigation device (technology aversion and ownership of devices were measured at the same time). Moreover, they found that people's technology aversion score was unrelated to scores on preference for American versus imported cars, or attitudes about the current president. In this example, which of the following types of validity have been addressed? (circle all that apply)
A) convergent validity
B) concurrent validity
C) discriminant validity
D) predictive validity
