Answer to Question 1

Answer: Discriminant validity is when a scale does not correlate with unrelated scales. This is desirable because a scale doesn't want to actually measure something other than what it's intended to measure, such as IQ or socioeconomic status.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Convergent validity is when a scale correlates with other scales measuring the same construct. You can ensure it by testing your measure against other, related scales.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
