Abstract
Social, or folk, typing can be used to identify individuals who occupy relatively undifferentiated social positions and thus cannot be adequately distinguished from other members of a collectivity by means of role characteristics. The author discusses the hippie as a folk type resembling that of the early gnostics and offers some speculations, based upon observations of the fate of similar historical groups, about the ultimate destiny of the hippie type.Abstract Teaser
