The validity of the research can be threatened throughout a research project, but can be divided into three areas: Page 17 of 19 1- The research design can be invalid, where there is an inappropriate method used to elicit information.
You should ask yourself if the research design enables the true answer to be revealed, or if other factors will distort and invalidate the answer received.
Considering the topic of housekeeping chemicals, who would you speak to and how would you source this information? Is the housekeeping department outsourced?
Determine the most reliable method for your research? Use the methodology chapter to explain why after considering other methods you settled for the one you did. 2- Validity can be threatened by the way the research is administered.
