11.Most experts would agree that a)demonstrating content validity ensures reliability b)demonstrating content validity is sufficient to demonstrate criterion-related validity c)content validity determines the validity of decisions made based on test scores d)content validity is relevant in determining the validity of measurement 12.Face validity a)cannot influence the usefulness of a test b)is typically examined in modern validity studies c)depends on subjective reactions of those who take the test d)depends heavily on objective data 13.Something that cannot be directly observed, yet is useful in summarizing groups of related phenomena is called a(n) a)concept b)content domain c)construct d)idea 14.Constructs are a)abstract summaries of some regularity in nature b)related to unobservable events c)often concrete and tangible d)both a and b 15.The process of providing a detailed description of the relationship between specific behaviors and abstract constructs is referred to as a)construct validation b)construct expression c)abstract explication d)construct explication 16.The process of construct explication involves a)identifying behaviors related to the construct you wish to measure b)determining whether behaviors related to similar constructs as the one you wish to measure are related to the construct you are interested in c)identifying similar constructs and determining the relationship between these              constructs and the construct you are interested in d)all of the above 17.The _______ the match between expected correlations and actual correlations between test scores and behavior measures, the ______ the evidence of construct validity. a)weaker; stronger b) stronger; weaker c)stronger; stronger d)stronger; lower 18.The most appropriate method(s) for construct validation is(are) the a)correlation coefficient b)laboratory experiment c)multitrait-multimethod approach d)all are appropriate methods 19.If multiple measures of the same construct yield high correlation coefficients, _________ is demonstrated. a)divergent validity b)convergent validity c)discriminant validity d)concurrent validity 20.When measures of unrelated constructs do not correlate with each other, _________ is demonstrated. a)divergent validity b)convergent validity c)discriminant validity d)concurrent validity 21.Correlations due solely to the use of common measurement techniques are called a)experimenter biases b)technique errors c)method errors d)method biases 22._________ is usually determined for abstract attributes. a)convergent validity b)content validity c)construct validity d)concurrent validity 23.Content validity and construct validity are a)mutually exclusive b)very different c)highly related d)both a and b 24.If you know much about the boundaries of a domain, but little about the relationship              of the domain to other behaviors, you could use a __________ technique. a)construct validation b)multitrait-multimethod approach c)concurrent validation d)content validation
