Effects of Category Order on Answers in Mail and Telephone Surveys1
Past research suggests that mail surveys encourage a primacy effect, which is a tendency to choose the first answers from a list, whereas telephone surveys encourage a recency effect, a tendency to choose the last answers from a list. This paper summarizes results from 82 new experiments conducted in 12 separate surveys in seven states. Only four of 33 mail survey comparisons exhibited significant primacy effects, while five of 26 experiments in …
Assimilation and Contrast Effects in General/Specific Questions1
Data from five surveys that included specific and general questions on a similar topic are examined. Results suggest that when specific and general questions are paired in surveys, significant patterns will appear. In each of the five studies, correlations between pairs of questions were significantly different when the general followed the specific item compared with the general/specific order. But there was no consistent pattern of assimilation…
Question Order Effects on Subjective Measures of Quality of Life1
The effects of question order on respondents' ratings of general and specific aspects of community life were assessed using data from separate mail surveys in Montana and Pennsylvania, The samples differed in locale, composition, and size and the relevant questions varied in number, format, and specific focus. Nevertheless, for both data sets the general question was more likely to be answered and more likely to receive positive responses when it…
Question Order and Fair Play
The norm of even-handedness is a question-order effect known to occur in face-to-face interviews when respondents favor one of two complementary or competing opinion questions, both written at the same level of specificity. After defining and illustrating the concept, evidence of even-handedness in opinion questions is explored in a Montana mail survey and in recall of recent behavior in Iowa telephone interviews. The Montana survey provides evid…
Concern About Crime Among Montana Farmers and Ranchers1
The effects of previous victimization, distance from law enforcement and neighbors, and sufficiency of police patrols on fear of crime are estimated using data from Montana farmers and ranchers. Victimization has the strongest direct effect. Distance from police and neighbors seems to heighten sensitivity to lesser police patrol activity in isolated areas, which in turn increases concern about criminal victimization. Fear of crime in rural farm a…
The Wisconsin Model of Status Attainment and the Occupational Choice Process
A method is presented whereby discrete occupational titles can be represented along a multidimensional continuum reflecting a population's shared perceptions. The spatial locations are then used to operationalize significant others' influence and vocational preferences enabling a test of the applicability of the Wisconsin model of status attainment to the process of occupational choice. Data from a sample of high school students were used to demo…

A Note on Models and Definers as Sources of Influence in the Status Attainment Process
Using the WISOB to elicit the significant others for the educational and occupational aspirations of a sample of high school students, the different sources of definer and model influence for males and females were compared. Definer influence was more likely to come from within the family than was model influence. Females were found to obtain more information from age-similar others and to have fewer occupational role models than males
Inertia in Cognitive Processes
Research evidence is presented to support a new and simple theory of attitude formation and change. This theory posits that the attitude of any individual converges overtime on the arithmetic mean of the attitude-pertinent information received by the individual. Consequently, the stability of an attitude is dependent on the number of messages out of which that attitude was formed. This formulation also implies that the emotional state or feelings…
