The theory of Academic Self-Efficacy was utilized to identify the behavioral patterns indicative of a student’s level of Academic Self-Efficacy (e.g. frequency of the students completing tasks and reaching their goals). The researcher observes 30 students for one semester and records the frequency of the behavior patterns for each student. Finally, the researcher develops a paper-and-pencil test of Academic Self-Efficacy and correlates the students' scores with their level of Academic Self-Efficacy based on the observations. What type of evidence of scale validity has the researcher established?
