criterion or concrete validity
concurrent validity and predictive validity are two types of criterion-related validity. the difference between concurrent validity and predictive validity rests solely on the time at which the two measures are administered. concurrent validity applies to validation studies in which the two measures are administered at approximately the same time. for example, an employment test may be administered to a group of workers and then the test scores can be correlated with the ratings of the workers' supervisors taken on the same day or in the same week. the resulting correlation would be a concurrent validity coefficient. this type of evidence might be used to support the use of the employment test for future selection of employees.
concurrent validity
predictive validity refers to the degree to which the operationalization can predict (or correlate with) other measures of the same construct that are measured at some time in the future. again, with the selection test example, this would mean that the tests are administered to applicants, all applicants are hired, their performance is reviewed at a later time, and then their scores on the two measures are correlated.
