Study Notes

Validity in Research

  • Validity is a crucial aspect of research that focuses on the accuracy and credibility of findings.
  • In qualitative research, validity means checking for the accuracy of findings by employing certain procedures.
  • Validity is a strength of qualitative research, and it's based on determining whether the findings are accurate from the researcher's, participant's, or reader's standpoint.

Strategies for Enhancing Validity

  • Triangulation: Examining evidence from multiple sources and using it to build a coherent justification for themes.
  • Member checking: Determining the accuracy of findings by taking the final report or specific descriptions back to participants and obtaining their feedback.
  • Rich, thick description: Providing detailed descriptions of the setting to convey the findings and create a realistic and rich picture.
  • Clarifying researcher bias: Engaging in self-reflection to create an open and honest narrative that acknowledges the researcher's background and its potential impact on the findings.

Reliability in Research

  • Reliability in qualitative research indicates that the researcher's approach is consistent across different researchers and different projects.
