Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological validity examines whether the results of a study can be generalized to real-life settings.
Detailed explanation-2: -When results obtained from research or (controlled) experiments are not representative of conditions in the real world, the study findings are characterized by low ecological validity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two main methods of establishing ecological validity are veridicality and verisimilitude. Veridicality is the degree to which test scores correlate with measures of real-world functioning, and verisimilitude is the degree to which tasks performed during testing resemble those performed in daily life.
Detailed explanation-4: -External validity is the extent to which you can generalize the findings of a study to other situations, people, settings, and measures.
