Feedback:
One of several controversies regarding quality in qualitative studies involves terminology. Some argue that rigor and validity are quantitative terms that are not suitable as goals in qualitative inquiry, but others believe these terms are appropriate. Although not without critics, the criteria often viewed as the "gold standard" for qualitative research are those outlined by Lincoln and Guba (1985). These researchers suggested four criteria for developing the trustworthiness of a qualitative inquiry: credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability.
