Across
  1. 4. the extent to which the results can be generalized to other populations and settings
  2. 6. scores on the measure are not related to other measures that are theoretically different
  3. 8. the extent to which the results of a particular test, or measurement, correspond to those of a previously established measurement for the same construct
  4. 10. the extent to which a score on a scale or test predicts scores on some criterion measure
Down
  1. 1. assesses whether a test reflects a certain set of abilities by comparing the test with an established measure
  2. 2. a measure sufficiently covers the area it is intended to cover
  3. 3. when a researcher controls all extraneous variables and the only variable influencing the results of a study is the one being manipulated by the researcher
  4. 5. the content of the measure appears to reflect the construct being measured
  5. 7. the degree to which conclusions about the relationship among variables based on the data are correct or reasonable - also called conclusion validity
  6. 9. scores on the measure are related to other measures of the same construct
  7. 11. the ability if a test to actually measure what it is supposed to
