Answer 1

Answer:

Internal validity

Explanation:

In this text, we learn about the information presented by a particular set of data. We learn that a particular study delivered a specific set of results. This is what is known as internal validity. Internal validity refers to whether the effects seen in a study are truly a reflection of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and not other circumstance. On the other hand, external validity refers to whether the results of a particular study can be generalized to other settings.
