AnnotationThis article results from a keynote session on the measurement of health status at the 1995 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, sponsored by its Medical Sociology Section. Fundamental analysis defines the basic terms of social and behavioural research. This article discusses examples of how standard methods applied in fundamental analysis break down in the presence of 'cross-cutting factors': we cannot assume that feeling one particular emotion necessarily implies that other seemingly conflicting emotions cannot be experienced at the same time.
