In general, exchange benefits and traditional group lobbying techniques and characteristics were not successful in explaining group goal attainment.en_US

dc.description.abstractThis study used Salisbury's (1969) exchange theory to examine interactions between interest group lobbyists and congressmen. Exchange theory inducements (material, purposive, solidary, and coercive) were examined for relationships to interest group goal attainment (policy output) as were other variables (e.g., organizational structure, resources, tactics of influence, etc.). The early portions of the study provide an overview of domestic and foreign agricultural policy, plus a brief review of interest group literature, including that on farm interest groups.en_US
