Who Speaks for the Community?

Fiedler, Fred E.; And Others

Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 1, 4, 324-333, Oct/Dec 71

A survey in an unincorporatedurban area compared the major community problems of concern to two groups: (a) randomly selected citizens, and (b) recognized community leaders. The results showed a large divergence of concerns as well as a striking number of citizens who felt themselves to be without spokesmen. (Author/JB)
