Country Indicators Used (Cont’d) • Ecological Factor • Georgas and Berry (1995) combined three ecological indicators to establish an ecological factor: highest and lowest average temperature and highest monthly level of precipitation. Factor scores of this factor were used.
Country Indicators Used (Cont’d) • Political Rights and Democracy • Combination of: • Humana (1986) collected data from several United Nations instruments and constructed the Human Rights Index for rights and freedoms in 40 categories • The indices for Political Rights in the year 1984 and 1985 from the Freedom House • Civil Liberties were taken (same source) • Inglehart’s (1997) measure of the level of democracy in 1990 • Inglehart’s (1997) measure of the Stability of democracy (expressed in number of years of continuous democracy) • In each dataset, we factor analyzed all five variables. One-factor solutions were found in all three sets, with eigenvalues from 4.56 to 4.77, explaining 91.18% to 95.40% of variance. Factor scores on this Political Rights and Democracy factor were used for further analyses.
