To an increasing extent psychologists and other social scientists have become concerned with problems associated with the prediction of behavior. This is evidenced by a number of papers recently published which have dealt with the problem of actuarial versus individual approaches to prediction (14, 30, 32, 36, 37, 42, 46, 53). Several studies have attempted prediction of marital adjustment (11, 47). The Social Science Research Council recently published an extensive monograph which reviewed the literature on the prediction of personal adjustment and pointed the way to some needed research (18). Since this topic has important methodological implications for the psychological and social sciences, it would be appropriate at this time to essay a logical analysis of the concept of prediction.
