Abstract: Abstract: A sophisticated science renders its theories formally (i.e., mathematically). When all the mathematical parts are strung together to represent the system of interest, the formal rendering is called a computational model. Computational models can be simulated to assess whether the combination of parts, as represented, produces the phenomena the theory is purported to explain, what parameters are important for predicting the system's behavior, and what to expect of the system over time. These features make computational modeling a desirable method for theory representation and assessment. However, computational models are new to applied psychology and management research, and thus it can be a challenge to get papers with computational models published without guidance. This chapter is designed to provide that guidance.
