According to the text, when critics of the experimental method raise the point that many experiments are "artificial" and that results cannot be generalized to any meaningful situation outside the lab, they are expressing a concern about which type of experimental validity?

I believe the answer is content validity.

Explanation:

There are four main types of experimental validity when it comes to quantitative research: construct, content, face, and criterion. Content validity is the one that takes into consideration how efficiently the test represents what it aims to measure. If a situation is artificial during the test, it fails to represent spontaneous and meaningful situations outside the lab. That undermines the experiment's content validity.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )

well, i can't read it so i'll ask you questions about it : )

if you were a reader and you read the introduction, would you want to read more?

does it start with a question? if so, is it something you would want to read about?

and ask any friends or family for their opinion : )
