The criterion of transferability in qualitative research is equivalent to which of the following criteria in quantitative research?
AInternal validity
BExternal validity ✓ Correct
CReliability
DObjectivity
Correct answer: (B) External validity — Transferability corresponds to external validity, so the answer is external validity.
Explanation
★Transferability corresponds to external validity, so the answer is external validity.
★External validity is how far a study's findings can be generalized to other settings and people.
★In qualitative research this idea of generalizing to other contexts is called transferability.
★So transferability plays the same role as external validity.
★Internal validity instead concerns whether the study truly shows what it claims.
★Reliability concerns consistency and objectivity concerns freedom from bias.
★So transferability in qualitative research is equivalent to external validity.
