No Credibility without Plausibility: a Response to Lewis and Lanier

Author: Roderick A. Rose

Published in: Journal of Family Violence | Issue 8/2019

Abstract

In this commentary I respond to Lewis (2019) and Lanier (2019), building on their critiques and ideas, offering some additional thoughts about the dissemination of the Campbell, Rubin, and Pearl causal frameworks and their potential emergent value to the future of family violence research. I clarify that the central issue to credibility is the plausibility of assumptions, that some widely utilized methods often require researchers to make implausible assumptions, and that there is value to knowing and using all three frameworks.
