Feedback:
Member checking can lead to erroneous conclusions about the data if the participants withhold information or desire to "cover up" the truth about a phenomenon. An audit trail is a systematic collection of materials and documentation that would allow an independent auditor to draw conclusions about the researcher's interpretation of the data and is a good tool for enhancing the trustworthiness of data. Reflexivity refers to the awareness and personal experience and insight that the researcher brings to the study. Data triangulation refers to the use of multiple sources to draw conclusions about what constitutes truth in the data.
