This study considers the value of classifying attitudinal statements given by nurses in a questionnaire by the statistical procedure of latent class analysis. It demonstrates with the use of qualitative data derived from in-depth interviews how precarious are the groups derived from statistical analysis. However, it is argued that the apparent discrepancies between responses 'objectively' derived by a statistical approach and those 'subjectively' declared by respondents may focus on different levels of meaning and may well provide a useful resource. Most importantly, it is stressed that a dynamic model is needed which recognizes change and the consequences of change.
