Which of the following is concerned with the question whether the measure of a concept truly represents that concept?

Correct option is C

Construct validity is concerned with whether a measure truly represents the concept it is intended to measure. It examines how well a test or tool assesses the theoretical construct it is supposed to assess, ensuring that the measurement reflects the concept accurately.
Information Booster: 1. Construct validity: Ensures that the measurement tool or test is actually measuring the theoretical concept or construct it claims to measure.
2. Internal validity: Refers to the extent to which a study can establish a causal relationship between variables within the study itself, without interference from external factors.
3. External validity: Refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized beyond the specific conditions of the study to other populations, settings, or times.
4. Transferability validity: Typically associated with qualitative research, refers to how well the findings of one study can be transferred to other contexts or settings.
5. Construct validity can be further broken down into convergent validity (the degree to which two measures of the same concept are related) and discriminant validity (the degree to which a measure does not relate to unrelated concepts).
