Abstract

A fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) is a heuristic alternative to causal modeling; a graphical means of representing arbitrarily complex causal networks, the implications of which can be calculated via matrix algebra. This paper discusses the use of FCMs for providing qualitative causal information in behavioral science research.
