Lesson 4 [PRH102]

• Credibility

  Asks "How congruent are the findings with reality?" - Methodological Triangulation (Approaches, Investigators, Theoretical and Environment)
• Reflexivity sources: Finlay 2002, Finlay 2003, Tuval-Mashiach 2016
• Trustworthiness


  The degree to which researchers and readers are convinced that a research study has captured a significant experience or process related to their topic
• Confirmability


  The degree to which the findings of the research study could be confirmed by other researchers
• Reflexivity aims to map the implications, possibilities, and limitations afforded by approaching the study of a topic in a particular way
• Transferability in Trustworthiness

  Proposition is somewhat tricky, given that by design qualitative research does not aim for replicability
• Dependability


  Peer debriefing or peer scrutiny are solid communication habits that create trust
• Sample Design

  Open Coding
• Reflexivity


  A form of critical thinking aiming to articulate the contexts shaping the processes of doing research and subsequently the knowledge produced
• Thank you for listening! Don't hesitate to ask any questions!
• Fidelity to the Subject Matter


  Assuring that the treatment in a research study is conducted consistently and reliably
• Utility in Achieving Goals

  Researchers might determine their questions or analytic tools to enhance the ability of their findings to meet their goals
• Reflexivity is a form of critical thinking which aims to articulate the contexts that shape the processes of doing research and subsequently the knowledge produced
• Methological Integrity


  Established when research designs and procedures support the research goals, respect the researcher's approaches to inquiry, and are tailored for fundamental characteristics of the subject matter and the investigators
