We investigate the relations between the spin structure functions in the scaling and resonance regions. We examine the possible duality between the two, and draw inferences for the behavior of the asymmetry A 1 at large x. Finally, we point out the importance of additional polarized structure function data in the resonance region for observing lingering effects of single quark interactions in a region where final state interactions are large. ͓S0556-2821͑98͒03521-8͔ PACS number͑s͒: 13.88.ϩe, 12.40.Nn, 13.60.Hb, 14.20.Gk with qϭ(,0,0,͉q ជ ͉).Note that the helicity of the final baryon is PHYSICAL REVIEW D, VOLUME 58, 094029
