Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Subcultures have historically been studied through qualitative data collection and inductive analysis. This offers researchers an interpretive understanding of the subculture's alternative belief system, or ideology. One important aspect of studying subcultures is delineating the sub-cultural identity. Yet, there is no systematic, rigorous measure of identity as self-meaning in most subcultures, and more generally, there are few scales for measuring sub-cultural identities. Developing a systematic measure of sub-cultural identity could help researchers identify where members situate themselves within the subculture. It could also aid in the statistical analysis of relationships between sub-cultural identity and other variables. I have three goals in this paper. First, I propose using a measure to gauge individual members' self-meanings in terms of their connection to the popularized jam band scene. In doing so, I will explore whether identities in what was once called the Deadhead subculture are multidimensional. Second, I will discuss how I developed the measure and present preliminary results to illustrate the measure's usefulness in musically based and similar subcultures. Finally, I will describe the unique nature of my research as a member of this subculture and the innovativeness of my methodology to quantitative research.
