How passive ‘face time’ affects perceptions of employees: Evidence of spontaneous trait inference (2010, background): “Through this second investigation, we hoped to complete the loop in what has been called ‘full cycle’ research (Cialdini, 1980; Fine and Elsbach, 2000), and provide both theory building and theory testing in this article.”
JOB TITLES AS IDENTITY BADGES: HOW SELF-REFLECTIVE TITLES CAN REDUCE EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION (2014, background): “Our aim was to close the loop in full-cycle research (Chatman & Flynn, 2005; Cialdini, 1980; Fine & Elsbach, 2000) by moving from theory building to theory testing.”
Assessing Resilience Across Cultures Using Mixed Methods: Construction of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (2011, methodology): “Stated differently, triangulation through the use of mixed methods data increases both the reliability and validity of findings (Fine & Elsbach, 2000; Haase, Heiney, Ruccione, & Stutzer, 1999).”
The Social Psychology of Access in Ethnographic Research (2003, background): “Although the importance of ethnographic research as a theory-building tool has been noted previously (e.g., Fine and Elsbach 2000), less attention has been paid to the ways in which ethnographic methodology might be an object of theoretical scrutiny in its own right.”
Group Loyalty: Impact of Members' Identification and Contributions (2001, background): “Given the importance of loyalty to groups of all kinds, future work on this topic might benefit from qualitative investigations of loyalty in natural groups as well as from additional experiments in laboratory settings (cf. Fine & Elsbach, 2000 ).”
Developing Theory Through Simulation Methods (2007, background): “They suggest that simulations are simply “toy models” of actual phenomena in that they either replicate the obvious, or strip away so much realism that they are simply too inaccurate to yield valid theoretical insights (Chattoe, 1998; Fine & Elsbach, 2000).”
Qualitative research on leadership: A critical but appreciative review (2004, background): “…this somewhat later incursion of qualitative research into leadership may be that, whereas many sociologists and organization theorists readily embraced the approach, social psychologists, who have been prominent contributors to leadership research, have been more resistant (Fine & Elsbach, 2000).”
METHODOLOGICAL FIT IN MANAGEMENT FIELD RESEARCH. (2007, background): “Scholars have long advocated cycling between inductive theory creation processes and deductive theory-testing strategies to produce and develop useful theory (e.g., Cialdini, 1980; Fine & Elsbach, 2000; Weick, 1979).”
Concept Mapping as an Alternative Approach for the Analysis of Open-Ended Survey Responses (2002, methodology): “Depending on the method chosen for analysis, there are different trade-offs that limit the type of inference we can draw and the strength of theory we can build from this type of data (Fine & Elsbach, 2000).”
