Questioning validity in the area of ergonomics/human factors / H. Kanis

Sumario: This paper focuses on the analysis of deviation in findings within ergonomics-human factors research. The current terms used to address the analysis of deviation in empirical research revolve around the notion of validity. In E-HF research papers, "validity" is widely interpreted and includes its common parlance usage. The possibility is discussed that, with or without the help of these syntaxes, validation may become a method of inquiry; a productive means generating significant theoretical questions which bear directly on empirical work
