Sex Role Bias in Public Opinion Questionnaires.

Hesse, Sharlene J.; And Others

Social Policy, v10 n3 p51-56 Nov-Dec 1979

Evidence that opinion in favor of working women was actively solicited in the 1940s and intentionally discouraged in the 1970s illustrates the argument that polls and surveys are used to shape, as well as measure, public opinion. Respondents should be given adequate alternatives through which to express their opinions. (Author/GC)
