Ulf H. Olsson ORDATA.RAW (LOGIT) Data Ninputvars = 3 Labels Y X1 X2 Rawdata = ORDATA.RAW Continuous X1 X2 LR Y on X1 X2 Output AP

Ulf H. Olsson ORDATA.RAW (PROBIT) Data Ninputvars = 3 Labels Y X1 X2 Rawdata = ORDATA.RAW Continuous X1 X2 PR Y on X1 X2 Output AP

Ulf H. Olsson Structural Equation Modeling with Ordinal variables using LISREL (KGJ;2002) Read ch. 1 (Data screening) Read ch. 5.8 (Data screening); 5.9 (Probit regression of Nosay); 5.10 (Probit and Logit regression of all efficacy variables)

Ulf H. Olsson USA.RAW NOSAY: People like me have “no say” in what the government does VOTING: Voting is the only way that people like me can have “any say” about how the government runs things. COMPLEX: Sometimes politics and government seem so complicated that a person like me cannot really understand what is going on NOCARE: I don’t think that public officials care much about what people like me think TOUCH: Generally speaking, those we elect to Parliament lose touch with people pretty quickly INTEREST: Parties are only interested in people’s votes but not in their opinions 1 = Strongly agree, 2 = Agree, 3 = Disagree, 4 = Disagree strongly, 8 = Don’t know og 9 = No answer.

Ulf H. Olsson USA.RAW YOB: Year of Birth (don’t know = 1998;no answer=1999) Gender: 1 for male; 2 for female Leftright: A left-right scale from 1 to 10 (don’t know=98; no answer=99) Educat:1=compulsory level; 2=middle level;3=higher or academic
