Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
Although not without critics, the criteria often viewed as the gold standard for qualitative research are those outlined by Lincoln and Guba (1985). These researchers suggested four criteria for developing the trustworthiness of a qualitative inquiry: credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. Dependability refers to the stability (reliability) of data over time and over conditions.
