If a new test for assessing anxiety produces scores comparable to those of other tests for assessing anxiety, then the new test has high:

a. predictive validity.

b. standardization criteria.

c. concurrent validity.

d. performance criteria

Answer: c) Concurrent validity.

Explanation:

Concurrent validity is defined as the validity that is obtained by comparison between well-confirmed test and the new test that has been taken. It is used for finding the extent to which the test score is relative by concurrent testing the current situation along with the related measurement.

According to the question, if the new anxiety test and established anxiety test has comparable outcome then it has high concurrent validity.

Other options are incorrect because predictive validity defines extent to which the outcome is correct as per prediction, standardization is criteria for compatibility and performance criteria defined as the required extent of characteristic while performing.

Thus, the correct option is option (c).
