RCpilot, are they covering the concept of "response bias" in your sociology course? Sorry to be rude, but given this data collection method, you would almost be better off making your data up. Let's say that only democrats who hate ID and republicans who love ID respond. Suppose that there are many ID-loving democrats out there, and ID-hating republicans, but they feel too conflicted to respond to surveys. You see the problem: you will detect a correlation in your data between political affiliation and attitude to ID, without any such correlation necessarily existing in the real world.

And Mazz4200, your post made me want to start smoking.

Nah, they haven't covered it but I'm fully aware that this method of data collection isn't the best. I have varied my sources of responses a little bit, but considering each person only need 30 responses total, the accuracy of anyone's data for their paper is subpar at best. This basically comes back to the fact that the class is a GEC. Not sure if the term is the same for you guys, but a GEC is a general education course, aka you have to take a few of them to become a more well-rounded student, but they don't apply specifically to your major and aren't as serious/difficult as a necessary course.

/Edit - One more potentially serious problem with blanketing my normal forums is the fact that I had a total of 3 females respond to the survey, and one of those was one of my flatmates
