validity generalization

the use of meta-analysis and other statistical procedures to assess the evidence of a test’s adequacy and appropriateness in multiple situations and settings. Validity generalization typically involves correcting all of the correlations being examined for methodological and statistical limitations and flaws and providing estimates of correlations or results that would have been obtained in the absence of such limitations.
