Communication use among traditioned small groups in natural settings has been unexplored by many researchers, because of the difficulty in gaining access to the members. / The counterculture is one of those settings, and the motorcycle gang is one of those small groups. In order to assist in understanding the subculture more fully, this study utilized the Naturalistic method of inquiry in the form of an ethnography to explore and describe the use of communication by members of a motorcycle gang. The structure and processes of the group were described in detail. Printed documents, verbal and nonverbal communication were viewed with respect to the structure of the group outlined in the research. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-12, Section: A, page: 3551. / Major Professor: Charles Edward Wotring. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1988.
