The degree to which a test samples broadly across the domain of interest refers to the test's:
A)content validity
B)predictive validity
C)reliability
D)construct validity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Content validity refers to the degree to which a test measures the intended content or domain of interest. It involves ensuring that the items on the test are representative of the entire construct being measured, and that they cover all of its important subtopics or dimensions. Therefore, the degree to which a test samples broadly across the domain of interest is an aspect of content validity. Predictive validity refers to the degree to which a test predicts future outcomes, reliability refers to the consistency of test scores over time, and construct validity refers to the extent to which a test measures the underlying construct it is designed to measure. While these other types of validity are also important, they are not directly relevant to the question of how well a test samples across the domain of interest.
