Question

Hudson et al. developed a series of questions to examine sexual attitudes (SAS). The SAS scores of religious fundamentalists, a group believed to be conservative regarding sexual expression, were compared with the scores of social work graduate students, a group believed to be liberal regarding sexual expression. The researchers were examining the instrument's:A.split-half reliabilityB.split-half validityC.criterion validityD.criterion reliabilityE.construct validity

Answer 1

C.criterion validity

Step-by-step explanation:

Criterion validity is an evidence of validity which indicates how well a test corresponds with a particular criterion.

Such evidence is provided by high correlations between a test and a well-defined criterion measure.

Answer 2

C.criterion validity

Step-by-step explanation:

The researchers were examining the instrument's criterion validity. Criterion validity measures how well one measure predicts an outcome for another measure. A test has this type of validity if it is useful for predicting performance or behavior in another situation. Types of criterion validity are: predictive validity, concurrent validity, and postdictive validity.
