Abstract

The General Inquirer is an IBM 7090 program system that was developed at Harvard in the spring of 1961 for content analysis research problems in the behavioral sciences. The first part of this paper describes this system and how it has been used. During the summer of 1962, the General Inquirer was merged with the Hunt Concept Learner to produce a method for automatic theme analysis. The second part of this paper discusses the rationale behind this development and some recent signs of its future promise.
