The paper presents an alternate method for the qualitative analysis of causal loops in system dynamics models. The focus of the work is to develop a methodology for qualitatively analysing causal loops to study the behavior of variables linguistically. It incorporates the uncertainties in a system dynamics model that could be attributed to the beliefs and perceptions of the user, and models them using fuzzy quantifiers and fuzzy relations.
