External validity refers to the degree to which findings from a study can be generalised to other people and settings beyond the study sample and context. Internal validity, on the other hand, refers to the degree to which a study accurately measures the variables of interest without influences from confounding variables. Construct validity refers to the degree to which a study's measures accurately capture the underlying constructs of interest. Mundane realism refers to the degree to which a study's setting and procedures are realistic and representative of real-life situations.
