Abstract | Notes that in communication research, attempts to enhance external validity usually focus on techniques to enhance surface representativeness. Suggests that the findings of a study should be examined in light of its contribution to theory. Argues surface representativeness is usually not a good indicator of contribution to theory. Suggests journal editors and reviewers bear a responsibility to think about generalizability in the complex way the topic requires. (SG) |
