A psychologist studied dependency by measuring how many times children in school asked an adult for help. A critic argued that asking for help is not a good measure of dependency. In fact, the critic said, asking for help shows resourcefulness and initiative. The critic in this situation was disputing the ________ validity of the dependency measure.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Construct

Explanation:

Construct validity measures the degree to which a test claims to be measuring a quantity.

Here, the psychologist says that measuring the number of times the children in school asked an adult for help indicates dependency of the children.

However the critic claims that measuring the number of times the children in school asked an adult indicates their resourcefulness and initiative.

Hence, the critic was disputing the construct validity.
