LESSON 7

Question 1

known as the ‘‘criterion-related validity’’

Answer 1

pragmatic measures

Question 2

this ‘‘test the practical value of a particular research instrument’’ or tool and focus on the questions ‘‘does it work’’

Answer 2

pragmatic measures

Question 3

refers to an ‘‘instrument’s ability to distinguish individuals who differ on a present or current criterion’’

Answer 3

concurrent validity

Question 4

adequacy of an instrument in ‘‘differentiating between people’s performance on some future criterion”

Answer 4

predictive validity

Question 5

attempts to answer the question “what is the instrument really measuring?”

Answer 5

construct validity

Answer 8

experimental manipulation

Question 9

MTMM meaning

Answer 9

multi-trait multi-method matrix method

Question 10

the ‘‘premise that different measures of the same construct’’ should produce very similar results, that measures of different constructs

Answer 10

MTMM

Question 11

the evidence that different methods of measuring a ‘construct yield similar results’

Answer 11
