This monograph presents findings from an analysis of data on international cooperation over a three-year period. Part of a large scale research project to test various theories with regard to their power in analyzing international relations, this monograph presents the computer printout of data on the application of discriminant function analysis of 'underdog' behavior among nations (UU actors) in light of relative status field theory. Field theory maintains that international relations consists of all the attributes and interactions of nations, can be analytically divided into attributes and behavior, and exhibits dyad formations (interactions between two nations) in matters of behavior. Scores on variables including domestic violence, economic development, political stability, population density, duration of national independence, colonial experience, military power, power base, and health conditions are compared for each nation to determine relative status. Field theory was applied to a single index for the three-year period in question--the WEIS conflict data (World Event Interaction Survey), which was created using the "New York Times" as a data source. The method involved assigning a negative or positive parameter weight on each predictive factor (such as economic development) which indicates the kind of behavior engaged in by that nation relative to other states. Nations were then assigned a status--'underdog' (UU) in this analysis. All of the independent variables treated are factors--that is, composite indexes generated out of a number of related variables using the technique of factor analysis. Findings are based on a significance level of .05 or less. Policy implications of each finding are discussed. (DB)
