Dr. Kamran studies domestic violence and has designed a self-report scale that is meant to assess men's negative attitudes toward women. To validate her scale, she administers it to two groups of recently incarcerated male prisoners: prisoners convicted of domestic violence and prisoners convicted of other crimes. Dr. Kamran finds a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the two groups. Which technique is Dr. Kamran using to validate her scale?

Known-group paradigm

Explanation:

Known-group paradigm technique is a method used for testing criterion validity where the researchers test their measurement method by using it on subjects whose behaviors is already know which helps to support the construct validity i.e testing a measurement against a group whose behavior is well known.

Dr. Kamran will be using Known-group paradigm technique to validate her scale in assessing men's negative attitudes toward women.
