ecological validity  

Définition

  • Ecological validity refers to the extent to which behavior indicative of behavior studied in one environment (often, reference is to a laboratory setting) can be taken as characteristic of (or generalizable to) an individual’s cognitive processes in a range of other environments (often glossed as “everyday” or “natural”). Discussions of the problem of ecological validity first came to prominence in psychological research in the United States owing to the work of Egon Brunswik (1943) and Kurt Lewin (1943), two German scholars who emigrated to the United States in the 1930s.
