In that case, it can create a false sense of mastery or achievement when, in reality, the instrument just is not challenging or comprehensive enough. Wasted Resources Using a measure that frequently hits a ceiling effect can waste time and resources since it does not provide the necessary ...
guidance [21] and appraised the included 91 articles on a sliding scale based on the strengths of the following: Abstract and title; Introduction and aims; Method and data; Sampling; Data analysis; Ethics and bias; Findings/results; Transferability/ generalisability; and Implications and usefulness...
Finally, it is important to consider the representativeness and generalisability of our sample. First, our participants with ED were recruited from the community rather than specialised services, and while they may better represent the general population with an ED, particularly males with ED (e.g....
As such, the SIMCA seems to be in a fair position to claim a certain level of generalisability (i.e., external validity). Nevertheless, identity content remains neglected in research on collective action, notwithstanding the lip service paid to its presumed importance. In fact, Van Zomeren et...
A registered general population cohort of adolescents (mean age 18 years, 36% male) provided ten daily ratings of their affective states for 6 consecutive days. The resulting time series were used to compute EWS in feeling down, listless, anxious, not relaxed, insecure, suspicious, and unwell...

(b) describe the effectiveness of interventions in a way that can be systematically compared, and (c) help practitioners and researchers understand which interventions have good external validity and generalisability (Higgins et al.,2019; Stanley et al.,2018). By synthesising systematic reviews, we...
This study has some limitations that should be mentioned. The recruitment strategy was adjusted twice to increase the number of respondents. As a result, it was not feasible to accurately determine the response rate, resulting in a potential selection bias and impeding the generalisability of the ...
Whilst this may limit generalisability, the rich, thick textual descriptions offer a representa- tive account that was not unidimensional; but identified positive and negative aspects of the experience. We rec- ognise that this work is limited to one academic insti- tution however, including other...
Of the 66 papers, 26 were classed as one star (significant flaws or so small and parochial that generalisability was in serious doubt). However, 21 studies were rated 2 stars and 19 (including 12 systematic and narrative reviews) were rated 3 stars. In sum, whilst many primary studies were...
