      ab: This article focuses on community research. Social researchers have long been acquainted with two approaches to community research: that of the psychocultural school and the orientation of the structuralists. The psychocultural group approaches the study of communities in terms of their total impact on personality. On the other hand, the structural emphasis is confined to the impact of various social structures on social behavior. The concern of the psychoculturalists with holistic social phenomena has brought forth criticisms with which we are all familiar. As a consequence of this orientation, the structuralists come in for their share of criticism. Another criticism hurled at the structuralists is that in their extensive use of quantitative sampling techniques they have fallen into analyzing their data in terms of a priori sampling categories. Once aware of the relationship between total and status cultures, the community researcher can interpret these phenomena in terms of functioning integrated patterns. All community data fall in any one category or combinations of the following categories. These are the datum representing total culture, datum representing status culture, datum representing social behavior and datum representing expected behavior.
