Recently there has been a lot of talk about women's rights. Some
people feel that women should have an equal role with men in running
business, industry and government. Others feel that women's place is
in the home.

about it" in rating self on this same 7-point scale, then R was not

the fact that randomization occurred for the order of the 3 major
Presidential candidate names for this placement.
