Question

Consequences of testing is one of the five evidence sources in the contemporary (unified) view of validity, and it was not an explicit component of the older tripartite view.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Tripartite view (traditional): validity was divided into content validity, criterion-related validity (relations to other variables), and construct validity.  
- Modern/unified view (Messick; Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing): validity is supported by multiple sources of evidence, commonly listed as content, response processes, internal structure, relations to other variables, and consequences of testing.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Compare each answer option to the components of the tripartite view:
  - Content: directly one of the three classic types (content validity).
  - Relations to other variables: corresponds to criterion-related validity (and overlaps with construct-related evidence) — present in the tripartite formulation.
  - Internal structure: pertains to whether item/inter-scale relationships reflect the intended construct; this is part of construct validity in the tripartite framework (so not new, merely more explicitly stated in the modern view).
  - Consequences of testing: the effects and social/ethical impacts of using a test (intended and unintended) are explicitly included as evidence in the modern/unified view but were not an explicit element in the tripartite classification.

3) Calculations/intermediate steps
- No numerical calculations are required; the reasoning is categorical mapping: match each option to either a tripartite component or only to the modern list.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Consequences of testing is explicitly named as a distinct source of validity evidence in the modern/unified framework (addressing test use impacts and social implications). The tripartite view did not explicitly include this as a validity source.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- B (Content): part of the tripartite view (content validity).  
- C (Internal structure): falls under construct validity in the tripartite model, so it was implicitly included.  
- D (Relations to other variables): directly corresponds to criterion-related/construct evidence in the tripartite view.

6) Conclusion
- Therefore the correct answer is A. This matches the provided answer: A. Consequences of testing.
