New Methodologies Program.

Abstract : During this period, four reports were written and two reports written on earlier Advanced Methodologies Programs were revised. As a result of realizing the objectives of the program, it is now possible to study systematically the effects of 25, 50, or 100 variables deemed potentially critical to a particular task and to do so with considerable economy in the data collection effort while meeting all relevant scientific standards. No practical technique has ever been available before that would permit the experimenter to investigate problems of such complexity in such a systematic and economical manner. (Author)
