  1. 2. idea that a test should appear superficially to test what it is supposed to test
  2. 3. a test that the measurements actually measure the constructs they are designed to measure, but not others
  3. 7. extent to which data are shown to be the result of cause-effect relationships rather than accident
  4. 9. the extent to which a score on a scale or test predicts scores on some criterion measure
  5. 10. idea that a test should sample the range of behavior represented by the theoretical concept being tested
  6. 11. extent to which a study provides evidence of a cause-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables
Down
  1. 1. how well the findings of an experiment generalize to other situations or populations
  2. 4. idea that a test should correlate with other measures of the same theoretical construct
  3. 5. 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. 6. extent to which an experimental situation mimics a real-world situation
  5. 8. an indication of accuracy in terms of the extent to which a research conclusion corresponds with reality
