Google the author and email him/her. That's what I do and they have always been happy to email me the full text.

I had a look at my uni online but this article is too old to be held electronically. The best I could come up with was books of the same name for sale:

My uni only goes back as far as 1997, I have always been told that anything more than 10 years old is too old to use in my work.

I once cited an article from the 1890s in a science essay... no paper is too old if its relevant.

If you can't find an article - ask your library for an inter-library loan - essentially, they'll find it. Sometimes you'll get it sent from the British Libraray.

The bonus thing is, they'll charge you a flat fee (it was a quid in my day) and give you a photocopied version. With the photocopying charges at 12p a page, it was cheaper to get an interlibrary-loan than photocopy it yourself on long articles.

My uni is the same, but I don't believe it's possible to discuss a theory without mentioning where it originated.

I did a search for it, I have access to the journal, but pdfs are only available post 1999.

Check your library for hard copy journals, I know at my uni, a lot of the older articles are available as hard copies in archives, often in an unexplored corner of the library, or as others have said talk to your library about an inter-library loan.
What a great idea to email the author :T I haven't ever thought of that but I will keep it in mind (diss coming up!), the worst they can do is say no!

I totally disagree that articles older than 10 years are too old to cite! I have never heard that one before! I suppose it varies from course to course, but I have cited things waaaaay older before, and even if articles have been discredited or proved wrong they can still be discussed if the assignment/exam questions call for it. Not all knowledge has a 10 year expiry date, in fact most of it doesn't!

Good luck finding it

A great idea, but sadly the writer is dead!

I've got access to it. If you PM me your email address I'll send you the pdf.

You could contact The Society for Psychological Study of Social Science who publish it and ask them if they could send you a copy.
