What is the primary difference between predictive and concurrent approaches to validity evidence?
What will be an ideal response?
While both strands of validity evidence involve correlating two scores on two related variables, predictive approaches introduce a time element. That is, the overriding concern of predictive validity evidence is the prediction of a future outcome or variable. On the other hand, concurrent evidence is concerned with immediate outcomes. Consider a new test designed to measure depression. Concurrent validity evidence would answer the question: based on scores from this test of depression, what is the likelihood a client will attempt suicide now? Predictive validity evidence may answer the question: based on scores from this test of depression, what is the likelihood a client will attempt suicide at some later time?
