Validity is the best approximation of truth or falsity in research. This comprehensive discussion explores the various types of validity, including internal and external validity, and examines how these concepts apply to research conclusions. It delves into the causal contexts that shape validity, posing critical questions about generalizability and potential threats. Understanding these factors is crucial for ensuring reliable and accurate research findings. A checklist of common threats to validity is also provided to aid in study planning.

22. 8:16 AM Threats to Validity There is a relationship between the cause and effect
The relationship is causal
We can generalize to the constructs
We can generalize to other persons, places, times
23. 8:16 AM Threats to Validity there is a relationship but you dont see it
there is no relationship but you do see one

there is no causal relationship but you do see one
