An occupational psychologist is developing a new self-report scale designed to measure burnout in ICU nurses. Which of the following procedures would allow the researcher to assess the concurrent validity of this new scale?
Administering the scale to the same cohort of ICU nurses on two separate occasions, three weeks apart, and correlating the two sets of scores.
Dividing the scale items into two halves and calculating the correlation coefficient between the scores of each half.
Administering the new scale to a group of ICU nurses alongside an already established, validated burnout questionnaire and correlating the two sets of scores.
Having a panel of expert psychologists review the items to evaluate whether they appear to measure all dimensions of occupational burnout.
