The complex debate has given rise to a variety of positions.
Morse (2015), for example, has argued that qualitative researchers should return to the terminology of the social sciences-i.e., rigor, reliability, validity, and generalizability. Others disagree with those opposing the term validity. For these critics, the concept of rigor is by its nature a term that does not fit into an interpretive paradigm that values insight and creativity. One contentious issue concerns use of the terms rigor and validity-terms some people shun because they are associated with the positivist paradigm. We offer a brief overview of the arguments of the debate. Qualitative researchers agree on the importance of doing high-quality research, yet defining “high quality” has been controversial.
