This handbook is a compilation and evaluation of 95 attitude scales for survey research. An introductory chapter outlines the fifteen chapters, discusses the background and rationale of the project, and details the major criteria for scale construction used to evaluate the scales reviewed in the volume. Chapter 2 contains a historical summary of public opinion on various domestic and international oriented political issues. Chapters 3 through 12 review and reproduce attitude scales dealing with: liberalism-conservatism, democratic principles, domestic government policies, racial and ethnic attitudes, international affairs, hostility-related national attitudes, community based political attitudes, political information and participation, and attitudes toward the political process. Chapter 13 contains individual questions from the Survey Research Center's election studies. The tables of contents of two appendices are reproduced in Chapter 13 and 14: Measures of Occupational Attitudes and Occupational Characteristics, and Measures of Social Psychological Attitudes, SO 001 167. Chapter 15 reviews and reproduces the tables of contents of three related publications. (Author/DJB)
