A special review ofThe American Soldier,Vol. IV

Volume IV ofThe American Solider presents the first complete account of the scale analysis approach of Guttman and the latent structure approach of Lazarsfeld to the problem of attitude measurement. This review has been prepared for the purpose of providing an expository account of the models proposed by Guttman and Lazarsfeld, together with an indication of the places which call for additional clarification and research. This review was originally prepared at the request of the Sociological Research Association, and was presented at the Association's Annual Meeting in New York City, December, 1949.
