Explaining Public Opinion toward Government Spending on Child Care.

Henderson, Tammy L.; And Others

Family Relations, v44 n1 p37-45 Jan 1995

A model of public opinion on government spending for child care was developed and examined. Respondents' views were depicted as a function of symbolic politics, self-interest, and demographic and control variables. Results suggest that symbolic politics were more revealing than self-interest factors in divining public opinion. (RJM)
