What's the difference between INTERNAL and EXTERNAL VALIDITY?

-----------------------------------------
Validity is a key concept in research methods. It can be broken down into two umbrella categories: internal validity and external validity.

1) Internal validity considers factors within the design of the experiment.
2) External validity considers factors beyond the realm of the study and asks whether the results can be extrapolated to the wider population.

Proof that a video does not need ridiculous graphics or distracting music. Just an engaging speaker, good content and a few slides to bring the message home.
I learned so much watching this video. Thank you.

Great video! But I have a question, is the Milgram experiment externally valid?

Great video! I've heard of some labs using virtual reality to test, for example, fear reactions in novel environments like the deep ocean. I wonder if virtual reality will one day become a more common tool in the experimental psychologist's toolkit that allows for tests across different environments (maybe thereby increasing the external validity of the results?).

Hi, could I ask if forced choice questions (whether A is better or B is better) would affect internal validity (since the participant might not be able to choose other options which he feels more inclined to)

So, in short, psychology as a whole is very unlikely to have both inner and external validity. Hence, unless is strictly based on biology and neuroscience, it is definitely a pseudoscience or in the best case, an art.
