Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalizable research findings can be applied to populations beyond the sample studied. This indicates that the results can be deemed as applicable to a larger group, increasing the overall value and application of the research. Replicability refers to the ability to reproduce the results of a study, objective refers to the impartiality and lack of bias in the research, and validity refers to the accuracy and truthfulness of the research. While these are all important aspects of good research, they are not directly related to the generalizability of the findings.
