'''Thorngate's postulate of commensurate complexity'''<ref name="Weick01"/> is the description of a [[social science]] phenomenon concerning directions and results of research conducted. [[Karl E. Weick]] maintains that research in the field of social psychology can – at a time – achieve only two out of the three meta-theoretical virtues "Generality", "Accuracy" and "Simplicity", and that the third aspect therefore must be neglected in any research.<ref name="DBO"/> The name of the theorem is derived from the Canadian social psychologist Warren Thorngate of the [[University of Alberta]], whose work is quoted by Weick.<ref name="DBO"/><ref name="Thorngate76"/>
