Back 2

Concurrent validity

Hint 2

type of validity

Front 3

Is the range where something is expected to be.

Back 3

Hint 3

usually a percentage

Front 4

Are the multiple dependent variables in a study with multiple independent variables.

Back 7

Front 8

Is the extent to which the assessment can predict or agree with external constructs. Determined b looking at the correlation between the instrument and the criterion measure.

Back 8

Criterion validity

Front 9

Is frequently thought of as the "outcome: or treatment variable.

Back 9

Dependent Variable

Hint 9

Outcome depends on the independent varialb and dovariates.

Front 10
