“…The conceptual core and the agglomerations of academic thoughts were identified using CATPCA. Several studies (Kassarjian, 1977; Namenwirth, 1967) have used this methodology in the past. An unforced perusal of the contents of academic articles is often unscientific.…”

Researchers have emphasized upon the significance of alternative economy. Inferences from past studies, and the suggestions on the characteristics of alternative economic networks, are manifested in studies concerning multiple disciplines. The present study explores the definitional aspects and the facets of alternative economic networks. The analysis of a wide range of literature, sampled in the present study, employed a disciplined literature discovery process with Max Qualitative Data Analysis software to produce a tabulation of characteristics of “alternative economy”/“community economy”/“social economy.” Furthermore, these characteristics were studied through a statistical content analysis of relevant literature, and an importance-based classification of the characteristics was developed. Principal components analysis was used to distinguish thematic clusters within extant literature. These principal components were used to construct a definition of alternative economy. The present study subsequently analyzed the temporal evolution of the possible characteristics of alternative economy as proposed by scholars. The facets of alternative economy, thus identified, may be utilized for supplementary empirical studies in the context of alternative economic networks.

“…I will not continue this enumeration of examples of content analytic studies which either contain time series or suggest the feasibility of time series compilations by their collection of artifactual data at more than one point in time.9 Suffice it to say that the more successful of these studies are those of Merritt (t966), Namenwirth andBrewer (1966), McClelland (1961), Rudin (1965), Gerbner (1970), North et aI. (1964), , and Holsti and Hopmann (1966).…”

“…Content analysis has been used primarily as a means of analyzing elite perceptions, as a clinical tool in psychoanalysis, and in general as a technique for measurement of the psychological states of small-scale social actors (see Stone et al, 1966;Holsti, 1969). Attempts, such as those of Namenwirth (1969), McClelland (1961, Merritt (1966), Gerbner (1970) and a few others to measure the values, motives and attitudes of large-scale social systems, which do focus attention on the sampling problem, and also begin to approach the problem of cultural product indicator construction, are few.…”

Of these the most important from the long-range prediction standpoint are Namenwirth's (1969), and Merritt's (1966) studies of the growth of American prerevolutionary spirit of community. In particular, Merritt's study gives one the feeling that an analyst applying his theoretical perspective and techniques of colonial newspaper content analysis could have predicted the occurrence of serious conflict and perhaps revolution in the American colonies, at least ten years before the eventA0…”

“…Namenwirth's (1969) analysis of "Concern with Wealth in 62 Party Platforms" from 1844 to 1964 is one example of a trend study utilizing imagery in cultural documents. A second example of a study demonstrating the possibility of gathering time series in this area is Dornbusch and Hickman's (1959) analysis of changes in advertising imagery in the Ladies Home Journal toward increasing otherdirectedness of advertising appeals.…”

A B S T R A C TIf we agree that social indicators indicate or measure only within the context of a theory of social change, and if we further assume that theories of social change which deal only with social conditions, behavioral interchanges or transactions, and the material environment, are likely to be unsuccessful because they ignore the "mental" side of life, it follows that we will want our theories of social change, and the social indicators associated with them, to incorporate the cultural and group psychological aspects of social behavior.When we look to possible data bases in search of raw material for social indicators of culture and group psychology there are, broadly speaking, two possibilities. Data may be gathered from interviews or from cultural artifacts.But interview response data, because of (a) their reactive character; (b) the difficulty of compiling time-series of responses; (c) the impossibility of making use of historical sources and (d) difficulties of validation against indicators external to the survey research context are, perhaps, less than ideal as a possible basis for social indicator systems. This leaves us with the possibility, and with the problem, of developing group psychological and cultural indicators from an analysis of cultural artifacts: literary documents, films, political speeches and other sources of this sort. A View of Social IndicatorsA n encounter with the social indicators literature leaves one with a sense that variety and perhaps a good deal of confusion are characteristic of theoretical approaches to the social indicator concept. I would like to order the variety and dispel the confusion by offering an explicative discussion of "social indicator," b u t that sort of discussion would take me too far from the m a i n purpose of this brief statement of a research orientation. Instead of an explication then, I offer yet another characterization which I hope will find its justification in the development of the research orientation itself.M y notion of "social indicator" proceeds from interests in social forecasting a n d the analysis of social change.
