Study purpose and activities

This study attempts to better understand the nature of a person's political attitudes by comparing two different political orientation scales. Specifically, we are interested in comparing self-reported political attitudes with unconscious (or implicit) attitudes. We are also interested in determining which kinds of personality variables are associated with various political attitudes. As such, you will encounter several personality measures and questionnaires and will then complete an implicit and explicit measure of political orientation.
