Which Statement Accurately Differentiates Face Validity and Discriminant Validity

question 22

Multiple Choice

Which statement accurately differentiates face validity and discriminant validity?

• A)In face validity, the content of the measure appears to reflect the construct being measured, whereas in discriminant validity, scores on the measure are not related to other measures that are theoretically different.
• B)In face validity, scores on the measure predict behavior on a criterion measured at a future time, whereas in discriminant validity, scores on the measure are related to a criterion measured at the same time concurrently.
• C)In face validity, scores on the measure are related to other measures of the same construct, whereas in discriminant validity, the content of the measure is linked to the universe of content that defines the construct.
• D)In face validity, scores on the measure have no correlation with construct, whereas in discriminant validity, scores on the measure are related to other measures of a different construct.

Definitions:

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

Cellular Respiration

A biochemical process in living organisms where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.

Aerobic Respiration

Aerobic respiration is a metabolic process in which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration, absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
