Purposes and methods
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):403-403 (2001)
Abstract
The methods of experiments in the social sciences should depend on their purposes. To support this claim, I attempt to state some general principles relating method to purpose for three of the issues addressed. (I do not understand what is not a script, so I will omit that issue.) I illustrate my outline with examples from psychological research on judgment and decision making (JDM).Other Versions
