Abstract

The issue of manipulation versus selection as a research strategy still seems to generate confusion. Present usage and past analyses of the issue are discussed. It is pointed out that the two approaches involve inferential problems at different points in the process of scientific generalization. Therefore, the strategies are complementary. Taken together, they can allow conclusions which neither alone could logically support.
