Date: Wed, 31 Mar 1999 10:02:59 -0600 From: Ingolfur Asgeir Johannesson <ingo-AT-ismennt.is> Subject: Re: To measure habitus While very interested in Ken's answer, I would rather describe the different strategies of different people that they have employed. I d also like to note that I see habitus as a structured and structured process, not less than as such a structure. So we could in fact never measure a habitus but describe, narratively, the way in which people employ strategies, that is the trajectory of strategies. I suggest using trajectory more than habitus. Now it s your turn, Kent, to tell us how the measurement folks in the Behavioral Sciences Building in Umea think you can "measure" a process/trajectory ... You are excused until after the Easter Break, however.
