Paradigms provide the framework to make meaning of experiences, to judge individual goals and actions, and to decide priorities of research questions and even the measures we will use.

Journal of Social Behavior & Personality, (1):  Tested the SQRT 1% prediction in seven studies whose size and proximity to Lebanon should affect the war.  Content analysis by a single Lebanese rater of the 27-month periodspanning these assemblies: June 1 to August He was blind to the research hypothesis.  Content analysis by a single Lebanese rater of the 27-month period spanning these assemblies: June 1 to August He was blind to the research hypothesis.  Tested the SQRT 1% prediction in seven studies whose size and proximity to Lebanon should affect the war.  Content analysis by a single Lebanese rater of the 27-month periodspanning these assemblies: June 1 to August He was blind to the research hypothesis.  Content analysis by a single Lebanese rater of the 27-month period spanning these assemblies: June 1 to August He was blind to the research hypothesis.

Variables from the Content Analysis  Level of Cooperation between Lebanon and other countries  Level of Conflict between Lebanon and other countries  Total number of causalities in the Lebanon war  Peace/War Index—combination of the first three  Level of Cooperation between Lebanon and other countries  Level of Conflict between Lebanon and other countries  Total number of causalities in the Lebanon war  Peace/War Index—combination of the first three
