To critically evaluate three conventional methods used to demonstrate rigor in qualitative sport and exercise psychology research and outline more suitable methodological alternatives.
Methodological review examining the application and validity of member checking, inter-rater reliability, and universal evaluative criteria (specifically Tracy's framework) within sport and exercise psychology.
Conceptual analysis of practices utilized by qualitative researchers, reviewers, and journal editors to judge research quality.
Member checking and inter-rater reliability are shown to be ineffective for verification, trustworthiness, or reliability purposes in qualitative research.
Universal evaluative frameworks, including Tracy's criteria, present significant theoretical and practical shortcomings when rigidly applied across diverse qualitative approaches.
New recommendations and tailored possibilities are established to help investigators, peer reviewers, and editors develop and evaluate research rigor contextually.
