Rigor and Logic

A Response to Comments on `Conceptual Rigor'

University Of Regina

This is Chow's response to four comments on his critique of the view that research conclusions be based on multiple context-dependent criteria. Five themes could be identified in the comments. In reply, it is argued that care should be taken not to use the alpha level whimsically because the continuum similarity is being used as a dichotomy in theory corroboration. The superiority of effect-size estimates to statistical significance is more apparent than real. Chow's assessment of meta analysis is illustrated with the apples and oranges issue.
