Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predicative validity refers to an instrument's ability to predict performance on some other variable. This indicates that the instrument is a good measure of the variable it is intended to measure, and can reliably predict actual outcomes. Content validity refers to the extent to which an instrument adequately covers all aspects of the variable being measured. Construct validity refers to the extent to which an instrument measures the theoretical construct it is intended to measure. Criterion-related validity, also known as predictive validity, refers to an instrument's ability to predict future performance on a specific criterion or outcome measure.
