Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Case studies involve examining a particular individual or group in-depth, making them useful for providing existence proofs or demonstrating that a psychological phenomenon can occur in real-life situations. Construct validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure. Internal validity refers to the degree to which an experiment controls for extraneous variables that could influence the results. External validity refers to the extent to which the findings of a study can be generalized to other populations or situations. None of these are as directly related to the use of case studies as existence proofs.
