Instruction

This survey is part of an investigation of general public opinion concerning a variety of social issues. You will probably find that you agree with some of the statements, and disagree with others, to varying extents.

Please indicate your reaction to each statement.

You may find that you sometimes have different reactions to different parts of a statement. For example, you might very strongly disagree (−4) with one idea in a statement, but slightly agree (+1) with another idea in the same item. When this happens, please combine your reactions, and select how you feel on balance (a «−3» in this case).
