Construct

Convergent validity is the extent to which two measures of the same _____ correlate with one another.

Correlate

Convergent validity is the extent to which two measures of the same construct _____ with one another.

Operations

Converging _____ is the notion that confidence in a particular pattern of results increases if that general pattern is observed using a variety of research methods and operational definitions.

Research methods

Converging operations is the notion that confidence in a particular pattern of results increases if that general pattern is observed using a variety of _____ and operational definitions

Operational definitions

Converging operations is the notion that confidence in a particular pattern of results increases if that general pattern is observed using a variety of research methods and _____.

Predicts

Criterion validity is the extent to which a measure _____ a particular outcome.

Discriminant

Divergent (or _____) validity is the extent to which measures of different constructs do not correlate together, at least under some circumstances.

Constructs

Divergent (or discriminant) validity is the extent to which measures of different _____ do not correlate together, at least under some circumstances.

External

Ecological validity is a form of _____ validity that refers specifically to the extent to which the results of a laboratory study can be generalized to a real-world situation.

Laboratory

Ecological validity is a form of external validity that refers specifically to the extent to which the results of a _____ study can be generalized to a real-world situation.

Generalized
