Short Answer Scenario 1: Imagine that you read a news headline that states: “Instagram use is linked to sadness.” In the study, a group of high school students were asked to indicate how many times a day they checked their Instagram accounts and how sad they were by responding to a self-report sadness scale. The results suggested that there was a positive relationship between Instagram use and sadness that was statistically significant.  Part 1: Identify and define the four main validities used to interrogate research claims. Part 2: Draft a specific question you would ask the researchers of this study for each of the four forms of validity.  Your question must be specific to this scenario! If a particular validity is not relevant to this type of claim, please still define the validity but indicate that “not relevant to interrogate”. Note: you do not need to answer the questions you draft. Grading: Identify & define the four main validities (4 points). Four specific validity questions for this scenario, 1 per validity (4 points).
