Dependability (also known as consistency) is one of four criteria in rigor and trustworthiness in qualitative research. In this article, the process of establishing consistency is discussed through the lenses of constructivism and interpretivism, as the observed social reality is viewed as epistemologically counter-intuitive. Two strategies were used to establish consistency. First, method, source, and data triangulation were conducted concurrently to overcome differences in data collection methods from two qualitative intrinsic case studies. Second, code and meaning saturation were used in ATLAS.ti to identify similar meanings and interpretations despite different data collection methods. The findings showed that consistency can still be achieved, and similar meanings and interpretations can be established despite different data collection methods.

可靠性（也称为一致性）是定性研究中严谨性和可信赖性的四个标准之一。在本文中，通过建构主义和解释主义的视角讨论了建立一致性的过程，因为观察到的社会现实被视为认识论上的反直觉。使用两种策略来建立一致性。首先，同时进行方法、来源和数据三角剖分，以克服两个定性内在案例研究中数据收集方法的差异。其次，尽管数据收集方法不同，但在 ATLAS.ti 中使用代码和含义饱和度来识别相似的含义和解释。研究结果表明，仍然可以实现一致性，
