The aspect of consistency means that . a. the association should be compatible with existing theory and knowledge b. the association is consistent when results are repeated in studies in different settings using different methods c. an increasing amount of exposure increases the risk d. the findings agree with currently accepted understanding of pathological processes

-It measures whether several items that propose to measure the same general construct produce similar scores.
