The present reaction responds to the three research-related core articles in the Scientific Forum of the May 2005 issue of "The Counseling Psychologist." I agree that too few of our studies are based on theories or models. Using the nomological network, I suggest how research ideas can more readily be depicted to allow model and theory testing. I comment on some aspects of structural equation modeling and note the usefulness of analyzing how we can improve our use of this increasingly popular method. Finally, I note the striking findings of institutional mobility, both upward and downward, in research productivity and suggest that in-depth analysis of a few of the most dramatic moves might help to explain these findings.
