Abstract:
|
This paper examines the effect of question-order and different justification frames on opposition to civil unions and same-sex marriage and marriage’s potential priming effect on the issues of fair job and housing practices, gays in the military, and the broader protection of civil rights for gays and lesbians. It provides a greater understanding of how the public views the debates over same-sex marriage as well as its impact on other facets of the gay rights movement.
The experimental design follows Kinder and Sanders’ (1990) survey-experiment which used alternate opposition frames and an extensive battery of follow up questions to test the attitudes of whites toward affirmative action. Six hundred respondents are randomly assigned into ‘against my religion,’ ‘traditional definition,’ or ‘no frame’ treatments, and answer two questions: if the respondent supports or opposes civil unions, and if the respondent supports or opposes same-sex marriage. Respondents in all conditions then receive follow up questions relating to other gay and lesbian rights.
By varying both the treatment received and the question order, this experiment follows a three by two design. While respondents are drawn from the undergraduate population of the University of Iowa, the number of respondents should provide a large enough n for each of the six categories to act as a pilot for larger studies to be conducted in the future. |
