Name and describe the two types of generalizability described in the textbook.
What will be an ideal response?
Generalizability has two aspects. Sample generalizability refers to the ability to generalize from a sample, or subset, of a larger population to that population itself. This is the most common meaning of generalizability. Cross-population generalizability refers to the ability to generalize from findings about one group, population, or setting to other groups, populations, or settings. Cross-population generalizability can also be referred to as external validity. (Some social scientists equate the term external validity to generalizability, but in this book we restrict its use to the more limited notion of cross-population generalizability.)
