Impact Validity is the extent to which research has the potential to play a role in social and political change or is useful as a tool for advocacy or activism. A series of articles have been collected for this issue that exemplify the intersection of science, activism \/ advocacy, and social change. These articles highlight the ways in which others have strategically grounded their research in the advocacy needs of the social\/political issue they are trying to influence, and the various decisions throughout the research process that have had a bearing on its potential to be useful in addressing social problems. These decisions, which rarely receive systematic attention, take central stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e Introducing “Impact Validity”  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSean G.
