The extent to which results of a study can be generalized to a larger population of interest. The entire set of people or products in which you are interested. The smaller set, taken from the population. Collecting data about every individual in the population. Researchers don"t need to study every member of a population. Instead, they study a sample, assuming that if the sample behaves a certain way, the population will do too. If the sample can generalize to the population, there is good external validity.
