Module 07 : Generalization

There are three general questions on generalization in qualitative oriented research projects: • Is generalization of the study results important or necessary in research? • What is the aim of generalization? To what statements do we want to generalize? • What are possible procedures of generalization? I argue in this lecture that the problem of generalization depends on the aims, the statements to be made, or the anticipated results. In most cases the targeted conclusions of a qualitative study are more general than the results found: we need generalization. There is a broad range of possibilities for generalization from qualitative studies. Especially single case analyses are not speaking for themselves, they need generalization.
