Abstract:
There has been an average increase of about 23 percent points in tolerant responses; 4 percent of this increase is due to cohort effects on educational attainment; about 5 percent is due to cohort replacement; about 13 percent due to increasing tolerance among all cohort and education groups; and 1 percent due to increased college attainment not accounted for by cohort.
