摘要
Chamorro-Premuzic, Winsborough, Sherman, and Hogan (2016) end their focal article with a quote worth remembering from Immanuel Kant: Theory without data is groundless, but data without theory is just uninterpretable. We begin with a quote even better known to industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists in part because it has served for over 65 years as a foundational principle of our field: There is nothing as practical as a good theory (Lewin, 1951, p. 169).
