Question

Aneen wants to know which students will succeed in a gifted program, so she administers a test at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, she finds that the test results correlate with those students' grades. The test has demonstrated: a. content validity b. predictive validity c. concurrent validity d. divergent validity

Answer 1

Answer: c) Concurrent validity.

Explanation:

Concurrent validity is defined as the factor used in research for comparing the difference between the present test that is conducted and the already existing test.If the validity or present test is equal to validity of previously established test , then it is described as concurrent validity.

Accordant to the question, test conducted by Aneen in start and end  of the year generates similar result by comparison .Thus , it is a concurrent validity case.

Other options are incorrect because content validity , divergent validity and predictive validity does not measure between the current test and well-established test.Thus, the correct option is option(c).
