ACCA is a variant of White's (2000) ego-centered citation analysis, in which the focal author name serves as a filter. Articles citing Lewin between 1972 and 2001 in the Journal of Social Issues and Human Relations , sponsored by Lewinian specialties served as the test bed. Procedures conducted on cited author names--cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, principal components analysis, and Pathfinder network analysis--generated coherent maps for each journal that maintained a "Lewinian" focus. The maps displayed the range of subject themes of interest to the specialties, which is consistent with Lewin's importance to the specialties. |
