Zusammenfassung:Recent interest in social indicators of change has emphasized the unidimensional monitoring of social programs. Reciprocal indicators permit the recording of two-dimensional, or contrasting, trends within a selected system thereby providing efficient evaluation of program effectiveness.

Suggestions are made regarding application of reciprocal indicators and the policy implications associated with such use.
