Question

14 mark for review the psychology aptitude test (pat) was administered to incoming college psychology majors. their scores were later compared to their performance in the introductory psychology course, and high scores on the pat were related to high grades in the course. therefore, the pat has a adequate standardization b internal consistency c predictive validity d content validity

Explanation:

• Predictive validity refers to the extent to which a test can predict future performance. In this case, the PAT scores predicted the students' grades in the introductory psychology course.
• Adequate standardization involves having a set of norms and procedures for administering and scoring a test, which is not the focus here.
• Internal consistency measures how well the items within a test are related to each other, not its relation to future performance.
• Content validity is about whether a test covers the relevant content domain, which is not the issue in this scenario.

Answer:

C. predictive validity
