Summary/Abstract: Research methodology decisions require clear criteria for selection of appropriate measures and procedures.These decisions often entail rules for assessing knowledge claims. Epistemic claims assert knowledge aboutunderlying mechanisms that produce observable phenomena. These claims specify relationships betweenobservable attributes, concepts, and theoretical constructs. We explicate three ways in which epistemicclaims may be advanced and assessed: triangulation, multitrait-multimethod, and meta-analysis. We assesseach of these approaches and review research examples for each method to advance claims about therelationship of experimental evidence to theory and its validity.
