Abstraction and interpretation - Description: mapping linkage - Complex typologies as a special type of linkage

3 important questions on Abstraction and interpretation - Description: mapping linkage - Complex typologies as a special type of linkage

When is a complex typology possible?

When:
- categorization stage is completed
- categories represent distinct positions within the dimensions concerned

What does the analyst have to do to build a complex typology?

Identify dimensions which underlie discriminations

There are two sets of  complex typologies. Which are there and explain?

Single-linkage - one whole set of positions on one dimension is systematically aligned with a whole set of positions on another dimension
Multiple-linkage - different positions may appear in more than one category so that the typology contains unique clusters of positions, rather than unique associations between individual positions.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
