| Description | Melvin Mark, professor of psychology at The Pennsylvania State University, presents this conclusion to the symposium, "What Constitutes Credible Evidence in Evaluation and Applied Research." Mark synthesizes presentations given during this symposium, focusing particularly on how the presentations described what does actually constitute credibility in research, and how these presentations themselves demonstrated one of the main sources of disagreement about credibility within the field. According to Mark, one of the main causes of academic debate surrounding this issue is the lack of contextual descriptions in discussions of what credibility means. In other words what constitutes credibility changes depending on what was studied and for what purpose, who is describing it and why, and who is interpreting the credibility and why. Mark compares this common sense interpretation of when evidence is credible to the fact that evaluators and applied social scientists often seek a gold standard. In the case of contextually driven issues such as credibility, a gold standard is unlikely to exist. |
