Abstract
Three conclusions are reached: (1) the need for using "marker" variables, i.e., which are identical in manifest definition and which can tie one analysis to another; (2) the need in empirical data to manageable proportions; and (3) "studies must be replicated and ... oriented to the testing of generality of findings as well as their stability." "... the tools are developed; the shortcomings of theory and research are evident, and the opportunity now exists for replicating and cumulative research.".This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
