Transferability in Qualitative Research

What is the main issue with generalising in qualitative research?

• It enhances the subjective context.

• It makes the research more specific.

• It requires surrendering subjective context.

• It improves generalisability.

What is the relationship between generalisability and transferability?

• They are the same concept.

• Transferability is an alternative to generalisability.

• Generalisability is a subset of transferability.

• They are unrelated concepts.

What does transferability refer to in qualitative research?

• The ability to generalize findings to a larger population

• The transfer of findings from a study to other contexts or groups

• The statistical analysis of qualitative data

• The replication of a study's methodology

Under what condition can transferability occur according to the definition?

• When findings are unique to a single study

• When findings are corroborated by similar studies

• When findings are statistically significant

• When findings are published in a journal

What is more appropriate to qualitative research than generalisability?

• Statistical analysis

• Transferability

• Cost reduction

• Sample size increase

Who is responsible for judging the sensibility of transferring research results to a different context?

• The original researcher

• The person wishing to transfer the results

• The funding agency

• The research participants

What does triangulation in qualitative research refer to?

• Using multiple data collection methods

• Increasing the sample size

• Focusing on a single case study

• Reducing the number of variables

What is the effect of a 'thick description' in qualitative research?

• It complicates the research process

• It provides a solid background for transferability

• It limits the scope of the study

• It reduces the need for sampling

What is transferability in qualitative research roughly equivalent to in quantitative research?

• Reliability

• Generalisability

• Internal validity

• Data saturation

What is the relationship between transferability and external validity?

• They are completely different concepts.

• They are loosely equivalent.

• They are identical.

• They are unrelated.
