Abstract
|
|
|
|
For the past four decades, criteria of trustworthiness developed by Guba and Lincoln have been used in qualitative inquiry at standards for rigor. In this article, I suggest, in keeping with other social sciences, that we must return to referring to rigor as reliability and validity. Further, I recommend that the Guba and Lincoln strategies for achieving trustworthiness must be re-examined. If researchers focus on the construction of validity during the conduct of qualitative inquiry, such validity supports reliability, makes qualitative researchers certain, and their research rigorous.
