Fig. 2: Attitude change trajectories as a function of initial attitude (General Social Survey), Study 1, Holdout sample.

From: Respondents with more extreme views show moderation of opinions in multi-year surveys in the USA and the Netherlands

Fig. 2

For single-item constructs that used 4-point response scale we present the over-time trajectories for each response category in wave 1, rather than top and bottom 10%. Support for gays/lesbians: there were only 10 participants in the bottom 10% of the distribution (due to skewness), therefore we plotted bottom 30%. Error bars are standard errors (barely visible on most graphs). N = 3735.
