Inside-outside validity is a type of validity that makes use of both the emic and etic viewpoints. The emic viewpoint is the perspective of the people who are being studied, while the etic viewpoint is the perspective of the researcher. Inside-outside validity is achieved when the researcher is able to understand the emic viewpoint of the people being studied, while also being able to maintain an etic viewpoint as a researcher.
