Answer 1

Construct
Content
Concurrent
Criterion
Convergent
Predictive 
Incremental
Face
Discriminant

Question 2

Convergent validity

Answer 2

extent to which two measures that assess similar or related constructs correlate with each other

Question 3

Discriminant validity

Answer 3

correlation between measures that are expected not to relate to each other or to assess dissimilar and unrelated constructs

Question 4

Concurrent validity

Answer 4

correlation of a measure with performance on another measure or criterion at the same point in time

Question 5

Types of reliability

Answer 5

Test-Retest
Alternative-Form
Internal Consistency
Interrater

Question 6

Incremental Validity

Answer 6

Whether a new measure or measure of a new construct adds to an existing measure or set of measures with regard to some outcome

Question 7

Predictive validity

Answer 7

correlation of a measure at one point in time with performance on another measure or criterion at some point in the future

Question 8

Alternative-Form Reliability

Answer 8

Correlation between forms of the same measure when the items of the two forms are considered to represent the same population of items

Question 9

Content Validity

Answer 9

content of the items reflects the construct or domain of interest. The relation of the items to the concept underlying the measure

Question 10

Construct Validity

Answer 10

Extent to which the measure reflects the construct (concept, domain) of interest

Question 11

Internal Consistency

Answer 11

Degree of consistency or homogeneity of the items within a scale. Different reliability measures are used toward this end such as split-half, kuder-richardson 20 formula, and coefficient alpha

Question 12

criterion validity

Answer 12

correlation of a measure with some other criterion (can encompass concurrent or predictive validity)
