On the Conceptual Disconfirmation of Theories

چکیده
The first author's concepts of operational and conceptual disconfirmability are revised on the basis of recent critiques appearing in this journal. Operationaland conceptual disconfirmation can be conceived as alternative resolutions of the disconfirmation dilemma, which Ls the problem faced by a researcher when a theoretical prediction is empirically disconfirmed. Operational disconflrmation corresponds to the conclusion rhat the prediction failed because of invalid procedures, while conceptual disconfirmation corresponds to the conclusion that the theoretical analysis underlying the prediction was faulty. Social psychology may indeed differ from other disciplines in being more prone to the operational disconfirmation conclusion.
