The elements of validity and reliability determine the assessment of the quality and rigor of the research. Reliability is the extent to which other researchers would
arrive at similar results. External validity is the extent to which the findings can be generalized. Internal validity is the extent to which the researcher can
demonstrate that the emergent themes, constructs, and perspectives are true (thick description). Anticipate the ethical issues that may arise during the research
process and the outcome of the data analysis.
