Abstract

The study of urban legends represents the application of concepts developed in the academic study of traditional folktales to stories circulating in the modern world. Vandenberg adapted the notion of ‘‘urban legends’’ into the area of organizational research methods and coined the term statistical and methodological myths and urban legends (SMMULs) to refer to the collection of various rules of thumb and other ‘‘received doctrines’’ that often guide researchers’ scientific behavior. Various SMMULs have been examined over 7 years in a number of symposia at scientific conferences, in a previous Feature Topic in Organizational Research Methods (2006), and in an edited book. This Feature Topic continues this tradition by presenting five new SMMULs.
