Dancer, L. Suzanne, "Stability of the Structure of Attitudes Toward Abortion from 1977 to 1985: A Partial Order Structuple Analysis," Paper presented at the Second International Facet Theory Conference, Guildford, U.K., 1989.
Abstract:
From 1977-85, attitudes toward abortion had a stable radex structure. Yet evidence suggests several orders with systematic relationships exist within the scale and thus a single scale score doesn't accurately represent all the dimensions of abortion attitudes.
