| Transferability | Equivalent to external validity in positivist research (it may also be referred to as applicability). A study is said to be transferable if the findings 'fit' contexts beyond the immediate study situation. In order to transfer the findings elsewhere, readers need sufficient information to be able to assess the extent to which a specific research setting is similar to other settings. |
