Empirical Testing of Measurement and Data in ANES: Insights from Seven-Point Scales

This study explores the effectiveness of seven-point scales used in the American National Election Studies (ANES). Key findings reveal a strong positive correlation between issues of separation and extremism. Robustness tests indicate reliable results from the 1980 ANES dataset. Our analysis emphasizes the critical distinctions among response categories, considering "No mention," "Important," and "Most Important," and examines the correlation of importance with respondents’ positions across various issues. These insights contribute to understanding data measurement and implications in electoral studies.
