Understand what a case study is: a detailed examination of a single individual or small group, often used to explore rare or unique psychological disorders.
Recognize that case studies provide in-depth qualitative data but typically involve very few participants, limiting the ability to apply findings broadly.
Identify that generalizability refers to the extent to which findings from a study can be applied to the larger population beyond the specific cases studied.
Consider the other options: large sample sizes, elimination of researcher bias, and speed of data collection are not characteristics of case studies; in fact, case studies usually have small samples, potential for bias, and can be time-consuming.
Conclude that the major limitation of case studies in diagnosing psychological disorders is their lack of generalizability to the broader population.
