Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalizability refers to the extent to which the findings of a study could be applicable to other groups or situations beyond the sample or context in which the study was conducted. Validity, reliability, and verifiability all relate to the quality and accuracy of the study's results, but do not specifically address the issue of generalizability.
