A sample of respondents from the 1982 NES Pre-Post Study was selected (probability sample) for two waves of telephone interviews. Wave I (July 1 to July 25) encompassed 314 interviews, and Wave II (August 1 to August 22) obtained 274 reinterviews. Each wave used two questionnaires, Form A and Form B, administered to different half-samples.

EXPERIMENTS: Comparison of branching (original question with follow-up for intensity/strength) format of liberal-conservative self- placement, versus the seven-point liberal conservative scale self-placement. One year retrospective time frame versus six-month time frame, in economic evaluations.
