Baer, Doug; And Others

Social Forces, v68 n3 p693-713 Mar 1990

Reconsiders S.M. Lipset's thesis on value differences between Canadians and Americans. Uses data from national surveys to test Lipset's argument. Analyses reveal no national differences or differences that are opposite to those hypothesized by Lipset. Speculates on contemporary reasons for new findings. Discusses inherent difficulties associated with origins explanations. (Author/TES)
