dr. costa is trying to create a personality assessment that measures introversion as a trait. he wants to make sure that the test is not accidentally measuring something else, such as anxiety, instead. which of the following is this concern representing?
○ construct validity
○ test-retest reliability
○ direct self-report
● projective test

Explanation:

• Construct Validity: Concerns whether a test measures the intended theoretical construct (here, introversion, not other constructs like anxiety).
• Test - Retest Reliability: About consistency over time, not what’s measured.
• Direct Self - Report: A data collection method, not about what’s measured.
• Projective Test: A test type (e.g., Rorschach), not about measurement accuracy of a construct.

So the concern is about construct validity.

Answer:

A. Construct Validity
