DIRTY DATA IN BRITAIN AND THE USA: THE RELIABILITY OF “INVARIANT” CHARACTERISTICS REPORTED IN SURVEYS

Abstract

This section of the Quarterly is reserved for brief reports of research in progress, discussions of unsolved problems, methodological studies, and public opinion data not extensively analyzed or interpreted. Succinct case histories are welcomed, as well as hypotheses and insights that may be useful to other students of public opinion. Usually, material in this section will be shorter, more informal, and more tentative than in preceding pages of the Quarterly
