IS THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY READY TO EXPERIMENT WITH PRACTICE METHODOLOGIES

The inherent superiority of qualitative methodologies was not intended to be conveyed in ''I Think I Can! I Think I Can! Reconsidering a Pla ce for Practice Methodologies in Psychological Research'' (Howard, 199 3). Rather, the point is that practice methodologies are not inherentl y inferior to traditional methods. Respondents argued stronger positio ns for practice methodologies than originally presented in some cases, but still worry about the quality of nontraditional methods. It appea rs that the answer to whether the scientific community is ready to exp eriment with practice methodologies may finally be ''yes.''
