Question:
Imagine that you have recently developed the following construct measures. For each of these newly developed instruments, identify two actual measures that could be used to examine the new instrument’s convergent validity, and two actual measures that could be used to examine the new instrument’s discriminant validity. When possible, propose measures that use different methods of measurement (e.g., self-report for one proposed measure, and observer ratings for the other measure).
1. A newly developed paper-and-pencil intelligence test intended to assess academic giftedness among sixth graders
2. An interview evaluating an adult’s personal integrity
3. A self-report form assessing one’s interpersonal assertiveness
4. A peer rating form measuring an individual’s general optimism
5. A supervisor’s rating form of an employee’s career achievement motivation.
