Book excerpt: The investigators were most interested in studying the dynamic process of the formation, change, and development of public opinion and political attitudes. Special efforts were made to follow changes in voting intentions and to gather data on possible intervening variables in the attitude change process. The major variables studied were respondent perceptions of the social and ideological differences between parties, participation in the campaign, the role of expectations, political information networks, the role of personal relationships and social groups, the political history of the respondents and their family, issue opinions, and personality measures.
