Trustworthiness is a concept that constructivist qualitative researchers have used to establish criteria for judging the adequacy of their scholarly inquiries. Trustworthiness is roughly equivalent to the concept of validity in traditional quantitative research, and the genesis of its development is rooted in attempts in the early 1980s by qualitative researchers to find ways to legitimize their work and to persuade others to take it seriously. Constructivist researchers think of trustworthiness as a system of checks and balances that can be summed up in four criteria that reframe traditional positivist elements of validity. Credibility is the constructivist criterion that parallels internal validity in the positivist paradigm; transferability parallels external validity; dependability stands in for reliability; and confirmability takes the place of objectivity. Along with the substitute criteria are corresponding empirical procedures (e.g., prolonged engagement, triangulation, and member checks) designed to affirm the adequacy of qualitative reports
