Abstract
The methods of experiments in the social sciences should depend on their pu rposes. To support this claim, I attempt to state some general principles r elating method to purpose for three of the issues addressed. (I do not unde rstand what is not a script, so I will omit that issue.) I illustrate in my outline with examples from psychological research on judgment and decision making (JDM).
