Thorngate's postulate of commensurate complexity, also referred to as Thorngate's impostulate of theoretical simplicity is the description of a phenomenon in social science theorizing. Karl E. Weick maintains that research in the field of social psychology can – at any one time – achieve only two of the three meta-theoretical virtues of "Generality", "Accuracy" and "Simplicity." One of these aspects therefore must always be subordinated to the others. The postulate is named for the Canadian social psychologist Warren Thorngate of the University of Alberta, whose work is quoted by Weick.

dbo:abstract
  • Thorngates Postulat der angemessenen Komplexität (engl. Thorngate's postulate of commensurate complexity) ist eine Beschreibung eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Phänomens, welches Forschungsrichtungen und -ergebnisse betrifft. Zusammenfassend vertritt Karl E. Weick in diesem Konzept die Meinung, dass während der Arbeit an sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungen nur zwei der drei metatheoretischen Tugenden „allgemein“, „genau“, „einfach“ erreicht werden können und die dritte notwendigerweise vernachlässigt werden muss. Der Name des Konzepts leitet sich von dem kanadischen Sozialpsychologen Warren Thorngate (University of Alberta) her, dessen Werk Weick zitiert. (de)

Thorngate described the problem this way: '“In order to increase both generality and accuracy, the complexity of our theories must necessarily be increased.” (en)
