The role of dynamics in spin observables for pseudoscalar meson photoproduction is investigated using a density matrix approach in a multipole truncated framework. Extraction of novel rules for {gamma}p{r_arrow}{pi}{sup +}n, K{sup +}{Lambda}, and {eta}p reactions based on resonance dominance, and on other broad and reasonable dynamical assumptions, are discussed. Observables that are particularly sensitive to missing nucleonic resonances predicted by quark-based approaches, are singled out. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
