“…However, they argued that many recent objections against laboratory experiments are misguided due to a misunderstanding of the nature of evidence in science and of the kind of data collected in the laboratory, and that more laboratory experiments should be conducted. This argument is consistent with the claims of those who argued that many experiments do not have to represent the 'real world' in any direct way, and that a proper approach to address external validity questions that suit the various goals of experimentalists should be developed (e.g., Vissers 2001;Guala and Mittone 2005;Schram 2005). In fact, many experiments are aimed at contributing to a body of experimental knowledge to be applied case by case, referred as a 'library of robust phenomena' by Guala and Mittone (2005).…”

The external validity of experimental studies and in particular, the subject pool effects have been much debated among researchers. The common objections are that the use of student as experimental subjects is invalid as they are likely to be unrepresentative. This paper addresses this methodological aspect in building economics research. It compares the bidding behavioural patterns of experienced construction executives (professionals) and student subjects through replication of a bidding experiment that aimed at testing theories. The results show that the student subjects’ bidding behavourial patterns, in terms of decision to bid and mark-up decision, are sufficiently similar to that of the professionals. This suggests that the subject pool per se is not a threat to the external validity of the bidding experiment. In addition, the demonstrated practicality of an experimental approach in testing theories should lead to more use of experimental studies with student subjects in building economics research. It is suggested that experimental and field findings should be seen as complementary in building economics research, as advocated in social sciences.

“…First, one might see how neo-Calvinists might parry Echeverria's charge that they are inconsistent in claiming that natural reason cannot produce a reliable knowledge of God and yet that all creatures do know God by virtue of general revelation. 85 However, a fruit of this article is contributing to an ever-emerging recognition that strongly psychological and Romantic motifs exist in Herman Bavinck's writings as well, such that a contrast between him and his nephew should not be overstated. Again, this does not mean that no rational reflection ought to be done in order to produce in more explicit forms what is already known by general revelation, but such rational reflections are always subordinate and second moments -they are always provisional and ought to be normed by special revelation.…”

“…Bavinck was 'more psychological and less philosophical' than his uncle, and that gradually 'his thinking became more theologically distant' from Herman Bavinck. 85 However, a fruit of this article is contributing to an ever-emerging recognition that strongly psychological and Romantic motifs exist in Herman Bavinck's writings as well, such that a contrast between him and his nephew should not be overstated. This recognition locates this article in a growing stream of literature that indicates the eclecticism of Herman Bavinck's thinking: he self-consciously sought to embody a kind of Reformed eclecticism that sought to utilize the conceptual tools from both modern and classical milieus, and saw no need to set the two in binary terms.…”

Neo‐Calvinism on General Revelation: A Dogmatic Sketch

Neo‐Calvinism, it is often observed, affirms a ubiquitous and dogmatic account of general revelation. Yet, critics claim, the tradition is too reticent to affirm that there is a positive, even if limited, project for natural theology. I argue that what accounts for this apparent discrepancy is a failure to recognize some distinctive marks of the neo‐Calvinistic account of general revelation. Theologians like Herman Bavinck, Johan Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper operate with an account of general revelation that is precognitive and primordial in character – an account irreducible to propositional beliefs about God. Once this dogmatic sketch is retrieved, a strong distinction between the ubiquity of general revelation and its rational reception in the form of concepts can be made. The conclusion then draws some salient implications of the above exposition.

“…Despite this disadvantage, simulation can be used as a research tool to analyze complex processes and compensate for the disadvantage. Furthermore, an online game can have high external validity when predicting behaviors (Feinstein & Cannon, 2003;Vissers et al, 2001).…”

The Effects of Fragmented and Continuous Interruptions on Online Task Performance

This study examines the effect of online interruptions on task performance. Two hundred and eighty players played a game designed to simulate an online environment decision-making process. The manipulation was achieved through an intervention design. Participants were exposed to messages in six interruption conditions as they played: (i) slow-fragmented text, (ii) fast-fragmented text, (iii) slow-fragmented image, (iv) fast-fragmented image, (v) continuous text, and (vi) continuous image. We compared text-only interruptions and image interruptions within different rates of interruption. The results indicate that participants with continuous text interruptions display the same performance as those without interruptions; participants who experience fast text interruptions perform the best; participants exposed to slow text interruptions performed poorly on tasks. These results imply the conditions in which controlling the rate and richness of online interruptions could improve task performance.
