The elucidation and empirical testing of theories are§vital components of research in any field. However,§the extent to which theories are supported or§contradicted by the results of empirical research§remains ill defined. Commonly, support or§contradiction is based solely on the reject or fail to reject decisions that result from null§hypothesis tests derived from aspects of theory. §Decisions and recommendations based on this forced§and often artificial dichotomy have been scrutinized§in the past. This overly simplified approach to§theory testing has been challenged on logical grounds§(Meehl, 1997, 1990, 1978; Serlin & Lapsley, 1985). §Theories differ in the extent to which they provide§precise predictions about observations and the§precision derived from theories is proportional to§the strength of support that may be provided by§empirical evidence congruent with the prediction. §The notion of linking precision to strength of§support is surprisingly absent from many discussions§in this realm. Using Monte Carlo methods, this study§examined the performance of a multivariate extension§of Meehl s Corroboration Index. Implications for§theory and practice are discussed.
