Types of Validity

Which type of validity is this: refers to whether the effects observed in a study are due to the manipulation of the independent variable and not some other factor.

• Internal Validity

• External Validity

• Concurrent Validity

• Ecological Validity

The concept of Validity was formulated by who?

• Milgram (1963)

• Becker (2002)

• Kelly (1927)

• Hofling (1988)

Which type of validity is this: Does the test relate to underlying theoretical concepts?

• Internal Validity

• External Validity

• Concurrent Validity

• Construct Validity

What type of validity is this: Asks whether a measure is in agreement with pre-existing measures that are validated to test for the same concept

• Concurrent Validity

• Construct Validity

• Ecological Validity

• Temporal Validity

What type of validity is this: describes how well the sample used can be extrapolated to a population as a whole.

• Temporal Validity

• Population Validity

• Ecological Validity

• Concurrent Validity

What type of validity is this: this is high when research findings successfully apply across time (certain variables in the past may no longer be relevant now or in the future).

• Temporal Validity

• Population Validity

• Ecological Validity

• Internal Validity

What type of validity is this: whether the test appears (at face value) to measure what it claims to

• Concurrent Validity

• Face Validity

• Predictive Validity

• Construct Validity

What type of validity is this: This is the degree to which a test accurately predicts a criterion that will occur in the future

• Temporal Validity

• Face Validity
