Toward measurements of human communication through simulations

Researchers have shown increasing interest in the use of simulations as alternatives to traditional research paradigms. Simulation paradigms have unique characteristics that influence the study of theory and real‐world events. This essay addresses five questions essential to the study of simulation methodology and offers guidelines for the evaluation of research employing simulations.
