The Application of New Methodologies to Analyze the Soviet Perceptions of U. S. Policies. Volume I.
Abstract
The report describes research efforts undertaken to apply advanced quantitative methodologies to the study of Soviet perceptions. This study has developed one analytic technique--a special thematic content analysis-and used another-a particular form of event data analysis--that can provide a wide range of information pertinent to goals and perceptions. It has demonstrated the use of multivariate analysis to link and indicate projections from the information provided by the content and event data analysis techniques. It has demonstrated the further use of such information in bureaucratic analysis approaches. And in the process, it has developed substantive findings of interest in operational planning and in research for national security policy.
