ABSTRACT
C H A P T E R V I I I # T H E I N D I V I D U A L CASE
IN the preceding chapters we have studied the probable causal influence of many different factors. We have discussed the importance of critical ability, of personality characteristics influencing susceptibility to panic behavior, of the listening situation, and of the cultural context in which the broadcast occurred. We have never meant to imply that these different factors act independently. Only for methodological reasons must they be studied separately. We can carry our story one step nearer to completion i f we see how these various influences are patterned in individual cases.
