Validity
___________ validity is the ability of a test to actually measure what it is designed to measure.
Construct validity
________ validity is the appearance to the athletes and others that the test measures what its supposed to measure.
Face Validity
_______ validity is the assessment by experts that the testing covers all relevant abilities.
Content Validity
____________ validity is the extent to which test scores are associated with those of other accepted scores that measure the same ability.
Concurrent Validity
_________ validity is evidenced by high positive correlation between results of the tested and the “gold standard”
Convergent Validity
__________ validity is the extent to which the test score corresponds with future behavior or performance.
Predictive Validity
________ validity is the ability of a test to distinguish between two different constructs and is evidenced by little correlation.
Discriminant Validity
__________ is a measure of the degree of consistency
reliability
_____ variability is between subjects
intra- subject
________ variability is between different test admins.
Intrarater variability
