ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the discussion of several new strong inference steps to reject the mapping function hypothesis, subject the behavioral constitution to possible rejection, and endanger the status of the model for structural adoption. This is accomplished by experiments performed with his student, A. C. Silcox. The structure on problem one was always an all-channel. A wheel structure for the data sharing phase insures that the group will have a wheel structure for the answer phase. The chapter attempts to manipulate rates of adoption by varying the relative status of certain group members. This manipulation provides a test of implications arising from the fact that the adoption model of Equation can be derived from the diffusion of innovation literature.
