{wiki=External_validity}
External validity refers to the extent to which the findings of a study can be generalized or applied to settings, populations, times, and measures beyond the specific conditions or samples used in the research. In other words, it assesses whether the results of a study can be expected to hold true in different contexts outside of the original study. Key considerations regarding external validity include: 1. **Population Generalizability**: Whether the results can be generalized from the sample studied to a larger population.
