Lib/Con writeup

Results.
The basic scale statistics are presented in Table 2, which provides for each scale an abbreviated name, the number of scale items, sometimes less the poor items, if any, the identification numbers of the items in the scale, e.g. 23 to 38, the weak items omitted, the range of scores in mean item score units, and the mean, standard deviation and Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient.
Only 15 of the 801 items were weak and were dropped because they did not correlate significantly with the total score for their scale. Most of the scales had very good reliability, in the .80's and .90's. None were below .70.
To create questionnaires of approximately equal length (about 200 items) the scales were presented in four clusters as follow:

Questionnaire 1: Rows (divisions) 1, 2 and 5. Questionnaire 2: Rows 3, 4 and 6. Questionnaire 3: Rows 7, 8 and 9. Questionnaire 4: Rows 10, 11 and 12. Thus, the item numbers in column 3 of Table 1 correspond to those in the respective questionnaire in which the items appear.

The basic hypotheses of the study were tested by computing Pearson Product moment correlations between the scales and between the scales and other variables. The basic correlations are presented in Table 3. Column two has the correlations between the trait and how strongly persons endorse political philosophy preferences, each independently on a five point Likert scale in the demographic section preceding each questionnaire. The philosophies were conservative, liberal, green and independent.
