Trustworthiness

Captions available

The idea

In qualitative research the property corresponding to validity is trustworthiness: whether the account can be relied on as a rendering of what was studied.

In practice

A study whose method makes its interpretation checkable.

Where people slip

Trustworthiness is not a softer standard. It is the standard appropriate to work that interprets rather than measures.
