Research participants' results on the coin-rotation task are compared with their results on a test of grip strength (a measure of another construct: global upper-extremity strength). The correlation between the coin-rotation task and the grip strength task were found to be not statistically significant. This comparison provides support for which type of measurement validity?

Answer:

discriminant validity

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant validity is usually used in psychology to check if related events or parameters are actually unrelated in any way. In a successful discriminant validity test, It is essential to indicate that the test of a particular concept does not have any relationship with any other type of tests that are mainly for the measurement of other concepts.
