Generalizability.
Due to their understanding of comparability which is opposed to
generalizability, Goetz and LeCompte argue that, "qualitative studies gain their potential for applicability to other situations by providing ...
As can be seen from this example, with 10 observations, the absolute and relative
generalizability coefficients are lower than .60; however, as the number of observations increase, so do the
generalizability coefficients.
The
generalizability coefficient (E[[rho].sup.2]; Cronbach et al., 1972), which is the ratio of universe score variance to observed score variance (Webb, Shavelson, & Haertel, 2007), provides such an estimate by allowing us to examine the extent to which consistent estimates about relative student performance may be inferred across multiple tasks that are considered interchangeable.
If we had been prevented from following up patients transported to hospitals not possessing an assurance, the sample would have been severely skewed towards children transported to academic or part-academic centers (i.e., selection bias), threatening the population-based study design and
generalizability of study results.
The relative
generalizability coefficients which provide information about relative or comparative decisions was high (.84) for three observations.
Generalizability and Observational Missing Data in Growth and Developmental Research with Prema ture Infants and Low Bird Weight Babies.
Ignoring issues of
generalizability will likely produce an effect similar to an allergic reaction.
In addition, the researchers investigated
generalizability of preoperative warm-up by following it with a different task, electrocautery simulation.
While acknowledging the limited
generalizability of their sample, the researchers hope that their findings help to reduce stigma associated with sex work and to ensure that legal sex workers receive appropriate services and protections.
Functional
generalizability a la Wilensky and Lebeaux so attractive in practice continues to hurt us grievously in the research arena.
The contents of the book range from the evolution of the construct, through methodology and measurement issues, to etiology, to characteristic behavior and problems, to the
generalizability of the construct, to subtypes of psychopathy, and end with practice concerns.
