Question 4

error where ratings become influenced based on rater’s knowledge of test scores

Answer 4

Criterion Contamination

Question 5

the extent scores on a new measure relate to scores from a criterion measure administered at the same time

Answer 5

Concurrent validity

Question 6

uses the scores from the new measure to predict performance

Answer 6

Predictive Validity

Question 7

Judgment about the appropriateness of inferences drawn from test scores regarding individual standings

Answer 7

Construct Validity

Question 8

pointed out that in order to demonstrate construct validity, we must show that not only must a test correlate highly with other variables it should theoretically correlate, it must not correlate with variables it’s supposed to differ from.
