TitleRepresentative design: a realistic alternative to (systematic) integrative design
AuthorsHolleman, G., Dhami, M., Hooge, I. and Hessels, R.
Abstract

We disagree with Almaatouq et al. that no realistic alternative exists to the "one-at-a-time" paradigm. Seventy years ago, Egon Brunswik introduced representative design which offers a clear path to commensurability and generality. Almaatouq et al.’s integrative design cannot guarantee the external validity and generalizability of results which is sorely needed, while representative design tackles the problem head on.

Keywordsintegrative design; representative design; generalizability; external validity
