In order to measure attitudes about women on a newly developed scale, a researcher compares scores on his new scale with prior scales that focus on attitudes toward women. If they have similar results, what kind of validity has the research established?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Concurrent Validity.

Explanation:

Concurrent validity measures how well a new test compares to an well-established test. It is a type of evidence that can be gathered to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes.

It is usually measured by the correlation between a new test and an existing test to demonstrate whether the new test correlates well with the existing test. Therefore, the resulting correlation is a concurrent validity coefficient.
