criterion validity

— Criterion validity explores the relationship of a measure with other established measures.

Full explanation:

Criterion validity is explored through the relationship of the measure with other established measures. Criterion validity is often divided into predictive validity (how well a measure predicts future outcomes) and concurrent validity (how well a new measure correlates with an existing established measure when both are taken at the same time).

Measurement: Correlation (e.g., Pearson’s r)

Interpretation:
