Trustworthiness involves establishing: Credibility - confidence in the 'truth' of the findings Transferability - showing that the findings have applicablity in other contexts Dependability - showing that the findings are consistent and could be repeated Confirmability - a degree of neutraility or the extent to which the findings of a study are shaped by the respondents and not researcher bias, motivation, or interest.

Description Contents Reviews Showing how science is limited by its dominant mode of investigation, Lincoln and Guba propose an alternative paradigm — a "naturalistic" rather than "rationalistic" method of inquiry — in which the investigator avoids manipulating research outcomes.

A "paradigm shift" is under way in many fields, they contend, and go on to describe the different assumptions of the two approaches regarding the nature of reality, subject-object interaction, the possibility of generalization, the concept of causality, and the role of values.

The authors also offer guidance for research in the field where, they say, naturalistic inquiry always takes place. Useful tips are given, for example, on "designing" a study as it unfolds, establishing "trustworthiness," and writing a case report.
