Detailed explanation-1: -Very simply, generalizability is a measure of how useful the results of a study are for a broader group of people or situations. If the results of a study are broadly applicable to many different types of people or situations, the study is said to have good generalizability.
Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast, inferential statistics are used to generalize from a sample to a population and to confirm specific hypotheses. Such work is especially important when adjudicating the fact.
Detailed explanation-3: -Quantitative research generates factual, reliable outcome data that are usually generalizable to some larger populations, and qualitative research produces rich, detailed and valid process data based on the participant’s, rather than the investigator’s, perspectives and interpretations (1).
