Threats to Internal and External Validity in Quantitative Research

Consider threats to internal and external validity in quantitative research and the strategies used to mitigate these threats.

Consider the ethical implications of designing quantitative research. Post an explanation of a threat to internal validity and a threat to external validity in quantitative research. Next, explain a strategy to mitigate each of these threats. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in quantitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a quantitative approach.
