“Beyond the Two Disciplines of Scientific Psychology”, 1975 (; backlinks; similar):
Aptitude × Treatment interactions are demonstrated with reference to G. Domino’s studies (1968 and 1971) of instructor demand and student personality and J. K. Majasan’s (197252ya) study which found that achievement in college psychology was greatest when the student’s position on a scale of beliefs regarding behaviorism & humanism were similar to his instructor’s.
Further evidence on interactions in social psychology, personality, learning, and experimental psychology is cited.
It is suggested that higher order interactions make it unlikely that social scientists will be able to establish generalizations applicable beyond the laboratory or that generalizations established in the field work will be maintained.
Social research should be less concerned with hypothesis testing and more concerned with interpreting findings in local contexts.
