Evaluating Research: Generalisability, Validity, Reliability, and Ethical Considerations

This guide discusses essential criteria for evaluating research, focusing on generalisability, reliability, validity, and ethics. It explores whether research findings can be applied to the target population and real-world settings. The guide emphasizes the importance of replicability, clarity in methodologies, and the identification of confounding variables. Furthermore, it addresses the ethical considerations as per BPS/APS guidelines and assesses the practical applications of research outcomes. A thorough evaluation is crucial for determining the usefulness and impact of research findings.

Presentation Transcript

  1. How to evaluate a piece of research

  2. Generalisability • Can this piece of research generalise to the target population? • Can this piece of research generalise to the real world? • Is it limited in any way? The setting? The task? The sample?

  3. Reliability • If this piece of research was replicated would you get the same or very similar results? • Has is been standardised? • Are the controls clearly described?

  4. Application • Is this piece of research USEFUL? • Does it have real world application? • Who benefits from the results or conclusion of this research?

  5. Validity • Does this research actually measure what it set out to measure ? • Were there any obvious confounding variables?

  6. Ethics • Is the research ethical? • Does it breach any of the ethical guidelines laid down by the BPS/APS • DRI PP

  7. GRAVE • Evaluating research is a GRAVE issue
