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).
