Measuring Political Orientation

• List parties voted for in the last: Rate how left or right these parties are.
  • participants may not remember
  • may have voted for one party to keep another out
• Ask individuals to rate themselves on a spectrum regarding their political orientation
  • (This may not be entirely accurate as people do not always rate themselves accurately plus it has the problem of condensing a lot into a single scale.
• We could use an implicit personality orientation test (as in Graham et al).
