An educational psychologist designs a new questionnaire to measure student academic motivation. To assess its validity, they compare the questionnaire scores with those from a well-established, widely accepted motivation scale completed by the same group of students on the same day. They find a high positive correlation coefficient (r=+0.87r = +0.87r=+0.87).
Which type of validity is established by this method?
Concurrent validity
Ecological validity
Face validity
Predictive validity
