Survey for school

[RedFireDiamonds]

Okay, so I have to do a correlation study for psychology and I'm wondering if there's a connection between: The decade people were teenagers (15-25) and their political activism - 1 being you don't even watch CNN(which no one here should be ), 5 being you vote but that's about it, and 10 being you volunteer and protest and all that stuff. So if anyone wants to answer those questions for me, that would be great. Thanks!

2. I doubt you'll get unbiased responsea from us band of lefties on DU, but

here goes:

I was 15 in 1979, 25 in '89, and am emphatically a 10(even though I don't watch CNN, don't even have cable).

3. strongly suspect it was true for me

--14 at time of SCOTUS Brown vs Board of Education.......and then the Emmet Till lynching, the Bus Boycott......took part in sit-in (TX) in 61

--then in CA in grad school in the 60s

BTW, location may be equally important.....friends, brothers not in CA (in OK) in the 60s: many are die-hard republican; ie, they reacted vs the 'crazy CA antiwar stuff of the 60s'
