Attitudes Concerning National Policy: Part One

Instructions

In this study, we are interested in how people make judgments concerning national policy. Each proposed policy contains an argument consisting of two sentences. The first gives the reason for the policy, and the second states what the policy should be. You are asked to read each argument and judge the extent to which you agree or disagree with the argument. Please click the button along the scale to indicate your judged agreement. Click the left most button to express strong disagreement and the right button to indicate strong agreement. Click intermediate buttons to rate your position along the scale.

Please note, this is a two-part survey. When you are finished with this page click on the "go to part two" button. This will take you to a "Thanks!" page at which you can link to Attitudes Concerning National Policy: Part Two .
