Criterion-related validity: Create a hypothetical test based around the topic of Suicide Risk and identify 3
characteristics of appropriate, relevant and measureable criteria. Identify a criterion for which predictor scores
could be compared. You are to design a criterion related validity study with identifying the specific 3
characteristics and identify if they are concurrent or predictive validity evidence and explain with specific
details.
For example, if the test was a Career Interest Test it would be based around criterion of Likes/Dislikes,
Abilities/Skills, and Experience as the criterion and then go on from there to focus on whether concurrent or
predictive, scoring and explanation. (this is an example only)
Create your response into a word document using APA format with a minimum of 550-word count. (It might be
easier to insert the criterion into a table format with the explanation in paragraph format below the inserted
table however, your choice as to how to create your Suicide Risk Study). Include in text citations which will
connect to the factual points from your sources, and include the reference citations at the end of the document.
