Now that
you have taken the survey in class and determined where you are on the
political spectrum, you can see if your results will hold firm. To do this, please complete the following
assignment for Monday, September 8.
1. Go to my web site links page for your class and select
the link that says “Match Your Ideology.”
Here is the URL
http://home.att.net/~betsynewmark/GoPoLinks.html#Ideology
2. You will find links to several ideology surveys. Take any two of the surveys. Record your results by writing them down or
printing them out.
3. Ask at least your family members to take either one of
the online surveys or my survey which is posted on my website at the same link.
Record their results.
4. Answer the following questions:
a. Do the results of the three
surveys correlate with each other? How
are they different? How can you explain
the differences?
b. How do your results correlate
with your family’s results? Does this
surprise you?
c. Does the material in Wilson,
Chapter Five, correspond to your personal results? Now that you have read about
the factors that influence public opinion do those factors apply to you? What does and what doesn’t?
