Sarah is researching the negative impact that carbon footprint has in her neighborhood. She uses two different types of research instruments on the same target audience and arrives at a similar conclusion. Which validity norm does she confirm to?
face validity
concurrent validity
predictive validity
construct validity
consistence validity
The answer is concurrent validity. If a researcher uses two different instruments to measure a construct on the same population and arrives at a similar conclusion, this means that such instruments represent the variable they are intended to. The variable, in this case, is the impact that carbon footprint has on a particular neighborhood.
