Quizplus · Accepted Answer

External validity is the extent to which findings from a study can be generalized to real-world settings. Therefore, the closer an experiment is to arranging circumstances similar to the real world, the higher its external validity. Internal validity refers to the extent to which an experiment controls for extraneous variables that could affect the results. Reliability refers to the consistency of results. Statistical significance refers to the probability that the results are due to chance. None of these definitions fit the scenario described in the question.
