Internal validity is to __________ as external validity is to __________

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks to pair internal validity with the concept it most closely aligns to, and pair external validity with its counterpart.
Option 1: 'generalizability; causality' assigns generalizability to internal validity and causality to external validity. This is inaccurate because internal validity is about ruling out alternative explanations to establish cause-and-effect, not about generalizing findings. External validity is the concern for generalizability, so this pairing is reversed.
Option 2: 'generalizability; control' suggests internal validity is about generalizability and external validity about control. 'Control' is a methodological approach used to strengthen internal validity, not a defining concept paired with internal validity in the way the question intends. This makes the pair incorrect.
Option 3: 'causality; generalizability' correctly links internal validity with causality, since internal validity concerns whether observed effects reflect true causal relationships within the study, and links external validity with generalizability, which is about extending findings beyond the study context to other populations or settings. This is the accurate pairing.
Option 4: 'causality; minimizing differences' connects internal validity to causality, which is reasonable, but pairing external validity with 'minimizing differences' is not a standard term or concept for external validity; external validity concerns generalizability, not a practice described as 'minimizing differences' in this context.
In summary, only Option 3 properly matches internal validity with causality and external validity with generalizability, while the other options misalign one or both terms or rely on imprecise phrasings.
