MODES OF RESOLUTION, CONCEPT FORMATION, AND RESEARCH STRATEGY.

Abstract

Some characteristics and problems of a conceptual orientation, using the concepts of 'cognitive consistency-inconsistency' and 'modes of resolution', are discussed. Contrasted is a more empirical approach which is open to a wide diversity of responses to stimulus situations. Some research is used to illustrate the heuristic value of the latter perspective in respect to communication effects. (Author)
