Abstract(s)
The criteria for the validation of qualitative research are still open to discussion. This
article has two aims: first, to present a summary of concepts, emerging from the field
of qualitative research that present answers regarding issues of validation, reliability,
and generalization; and second, to propose six concepts that allow the monitoring of
the validation of phenomenological research within the context of qualitative research
in psychology—intentionality, psychological phenomenological reduction, eidetic psychological
analysis, syntheses of identification, phenomenon versus individual, and
invariant structures. It is argued that there are general criteria that qualitative methods
must meet, and specific methodological criteria to monitor the quality control. A final
definition is proposed, to delimit the validation, reliability, and generalization of the
phenomenological research results.
