Face validity refers to whether the measure appears, on the face of it, to measure what it is supposed to measure. Content validity assesses whether a measure adequately covers all aspects of the construct being measured. Both of these types of validity focus on whether the items in a measure represent the intended meaning of the construct. Convergent validity, on the other hand, focuses on whether different measures of the same construct are related to each other, while predictive validity assesses whether a measure predicts a future behavior or outcome. Concurrent validity assesses whether a measure can distinguish between groups that are known to differ on the construct being measured.
