to be used being predetermined on a randov.ly selected basls so that each
respondent theoreticslly had an equal chnnce of being given any one particular
form .
The differences and e .inilarltlee between the four forms -- A~ B, C . and
D -- are as follovn :
Nordi n - Some of the statements were worded exactly alike on all
four forms , but other statements were presented conversely in one of the
forms (D) . For example , if Ftorms A, A, and C contained the positive version
of a statement , then on Form D the converse of that statement ws presented ,
that is , e a negatively worded version . The percentages agreeing or disagreeing
in response to the version given on most forms (A , B , and C) are provided in
Col` 2~ Sotal p Forms A~B 1 C of the attached table , while the percentages for
the converse statement are presented in Co1 . 3. Form D , Converse .
' Hocever) the assumed effect of differences In vording is best
estdumted , for reasons explained below , by comparing percentages in Col, 3~
Form 1) with those In Col . 4 , Form C .
The differences In the percentages between these two forms
are listed In Col_7 . C-D , Sording .
Positlon qucetlen Number e'Sthin Intervlev ScheBule - The state-
ments were presented early In the Intervlew .situati .on In Forms C and D, but
late 1 .n Forms A and B ., Although in terms of their position within the inter-
view schedule Form C and D are equal as are F'orms A and B, the best estimate
of the assumed effect of position upon answers Ss achieved by romparing the
percentages In Col . 4, Fonn C with those in Col . 6, Form A. '
The differences in the percentages between these two forms
are listed In Col- . 0. . A-0, Positio,n .
