Abstract
A set of categories was developed and used to assess the character of research papers published in two journals for the years 1976 and 1977 and in one of them in 1967. The results indicated that about half of current research does not attempt to test available theories, but that over the last decade there has been a noticeable change in the direction of doing so.Keywords
