Very simply, generalizability is a measure of how useful the results of a study are for a broader group of people or situations. If the results of a study are broadly applicable to many different types of people or situations, the study is said to have good generalizability.
What makes a study Generalisable?
Generalisability is the extent to which the findings of a study can be applicable to other settings. It is also known as external validity. Generalisability requires internal validity as well as a judgement on whether the findings of a study are applicable to a particular group.
What is the best way to ensure that the results of a study are generalizable to a population?
Because sound generalizability requires data on large populations, quantitative research — experimental for instance — provides the best foundation for producing broad generalizability. The larger the sample population, the more one can generalize the results.
