Hudson et al. developed a series of questions to examine sexual attitudes (SAS). The SAS scores of religious fundamentalists, a group believed to be conservative regarding sexual expression, were compared with the scores of social work graduate students, a group believed to be liberal regarding sexual expression. The researchers were examining the instrument's:A. split-half reliabilityB. split-half validityC. criterion validityD. criterion reliabilityE. construct validity

C.criterion validity

Explanation:

The researchers were examining the instrument's criterion validity. Criterion validity measures how well one measure predicts an outcome for another measure. A test has this type of validity if it is useful for predicting performance or behavior in another situation. Types of criterion validity are: predictive validity, concurrent validity, and postdictive validity.

C.criterion validity

Explanation:

Criterion validity is an evidence of validity which indicates how well a test corresponds with a particular criterion.

Such evidence is provided by high correlations between a test and a well-defined criterion measure.
