Document Summary

First we would research and operationally define the different between conservative and liberal, and come up with 10 values each. Correlational study: use a survey to test the age groups. Either a 1-10 scale about how much you agree with statements, or a temperature scale about how warm or cold you feel towards these statements. After those, we would ask for identification of job, gender, education, ses, religion, and political view. *problem with this set up is that you can"t measure the actual change in political attitudes (only age differences). We would have to do a longitudinal study for that. Another problem is that generations/cohorts aren"t taken into account (i. e. millennials are considered more liberal, etc ) big things to look at: age, time of measurement, and cohort. Different types of studies: experimental, longitudinal, correlational, qausi-experimental, sequential. An experiment can have more than 2 variables measured and normally will randomly assign the groups in order to maintain the integrity.
