The pol'al behavior (PB) of a little community in the valley of Sao Francisco in the State of Bahia, Brazil, was studied by the method of functional analysis. By referring to the distinction expressed by R. K. Merton between function (adaptation) & disfunction (inadaptation), the various manifestations of pol'al life were classified. The analysis revealed the presence of a conflict between 2 portions of the community, which might or might not be an adaptation to pol'al life. There remains to be determined the aspect of PB, functional or disfunctional, which exercises the greatest influence: concerning which res always poses a delicate methodological problem. It is apparent that inadaptation has a serious repercussion on adjustment, from which stems a certain frustration felt by the opposition; this, in turn, has repercussions in the tension of the entire community & threatens to bring about its dissolution.
