24[blank_start]Internal consistency reliability[blank_end] needs to answer the question: " is this questionnaire consistent within itself

32Discriminant validity is the degree in which a measure does not correlate with measures of the same constructs
- ATrue
- BFalse
33The difference between predictive validity and concurrent validity is whether the criterion is being assessed at the same time as the measure or if it is being assessed in the future.
Both assess whether the measure predicted the criterion- ATrue
- BFalse
34The purpose of an experiment is to demonstrate that one variable caused changes in other variables
