2. Creswell and Miller (2000) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the findings
accurately represent the experiences and perspectives of the participants. It is
established through strategies such as triangulation, member checking, and researcher
reflexivity."
3. Morse (2003) - "Credibility refers to the extent to which the findings accurately reflect
the phenomenon being studied. It is established through strategies such as member
checking, peer review, and the use of rich, thick description."
4. Tracy (2010) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the findings accurately reflect
the participants' experiences and the research context. It is established through
strategies such as triangulation, prolonged engagement, peer debriefing, and negative
case analysis."
5. Shenton (2004) - "Credibility refers to the extent to which the research findings are
believable and trustworthy to both researchers and participants. It is established
through strategies such as prolonged engagement, triangulation, and the use of thick
description."
6. Flick (2018) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the research findings are
trustworthy, accurate, and reliable. It is established through strategies such as member
checking, triangulation, and researcher reflexivity."
7. Lincoln and Guba (1985) - "Credibility refers to confidence in the truth of the data
and interpretations, and it is established through strategies such as prolonged
engagement with participants, persistent observation, triangulation, and member
checking."
8. Patton (1990) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the findings accurately
represent the participants' perspectives and experiences. It is established through
strategies such as triangulation, reflexivity, and establishing rapport and trust with
participants."
9. Morse et al. (2002) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the research
findings are believable, and it is established through strategies such as credibility
checks, peer debriefing, and member checking."
10. Gasson (2004) - "Credibility refers to the extent to which the research findings are
trustworthy and believable to the participants, researchers, and readers. It is
established through strategies such as confirmability, transferability,
dependability, and the credibility of the researcher."
11. Pilot and Beck (2017) - "Credibility refers to the degree to which the findings of a
study are believable, trustworthy, and authentic. It is established through a
process of triangulation, reflexivity, and addressing potential sources of bias."
