In General, When a Measure Has Good Convergent and Discriminant

question 6

Multiple Choice

In general, when a measure has good convergent and discriminant validity

• A) the correlations that measure convergent validity will be about r = 1.0 and correlations that assess discriminant validity will be about r = 0.00.
• B) the correlations will not approach r = 1.0 or r = 0.00, due to random error and the fact that many different conceptual variables are likely to be at least somewhat related to each other,.
• C) it will not be possible to differentiate the size of the correlations that represent convergent validity from the size of the correlations that represent discriminant validity.
• D) the concurrent validity of the relationships will be greater than the criterion validity of the relationships.
