The research group was also anxious to take on this study because it was just following the first welfare worker’s strike in California.

Psychology speaks of methodology, the means whereby we might achieve our goals; it is the instrument by which we hope to achieve our objectives. Without a methodology we are like a ship without a rudder. We may know where we want to go, …
