Explain the difference between cross-population generalizability and sample generalizability.

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. They are different because one is focused on using data from a sample to mimic the population and the other is concerned with data and findings from one population can be generalized to another group, population or setting.
