Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Judy's finding of a high correlation between her measure of intimacy and the Zaltzman measure of intimacy shows convergent validity, meaning that the two measures are measuring the same construct of intimacy. Face validity refers to the measure appearing to measure what it is intended to measure. Divergent validity refers to the measure not correlating with measures of constructs that it should not be related to, and discriminant validity refers to the measure being able to distinguish between different constructs. Neither of these types of validity are being demonstrated by Judy's finding.
