Concurrent validity
Concurrent Validity is a type of validity that is commonly used in the field of Psychology, Sociology, and other Social Sciences. It refers to the extent to which the results of a particular test, or measurement, correspond to those of a previously established measurement for the same construct.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Concurrent validity is often used in Psychometrics, the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement. It is a parameter used in sociology, psychology, and other psychometric or behavioral sciences. Concurrent validity can be contrasted with Predictive Validity.
Understanding Concurrent Validity[edit | edit source]
Concurrent validity is a measure of test validity. The results obtained from it are compared with a previously approved measure to find the validity of the test score interpretations. It is called concurrent validity because the two measures are taken at the same time. This is unlike predictive validity that compares the test results with a future outcome.
Application[edit | edit source]
Concurrent validity is used in the development and evaluation of tests and measurements in various fields such as psychology, education, and health. It helps in establishing the validity of the test score interpretations.
