Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Construct validity, an instrument's adequacy in measuring the targeted construct, is a hypothesis-testing endeavor. Content validity concerns the sampling adequacy of the content being measured. Expert ratings on the relevance of items can be used to compute a content validity index (CVI). Criterion-related validity (which includes both predictive validity and concurrent validity) focuses on the correlation between an instrument and an outside criterion.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Content validity concerns the sampling adequacy of the content being measured and is based on judgment. Expert ratings on the relevance of items can be used to compute a content validity index (CVI). Criterion-related validity (which includes both predictive validity and concurrent validity) focuses on the correlation between an instrument and an outside criterion. Construct validity, an instrument's adequacy in measuring the targeted construct, is a hypothesis-testing endeavor.
