9. QLA-RIG-009 — Trustworthiness, Reflexivity, Triangulation and Qualitative Validation

Description:

This Master Prompt w ould focus on demonstrating that qualitative findings are credible, transparent, methodologically coherent and appropriately supported by evidence. It would guide researchers through credibility, dependability, confirmability and transferability; reflexivity; audit trails; triangulation; negative or deviant case analysis; peer discussion; member checking where appropriate; independent or collaborative coding; and transparent documentation of analytical decisions.

It would also help researchers evaluate coding consistency without incorrectly assuming that numerical intercoder agreement alone establishes qualitative validity. Several uploaded studies use independent coders, collaborative reconciliation, inter-rater reliability or human validation to assess coding quality and analytical consistency.
