Abstract
The present study used the lost-letter technique to assess differential political attitudes across socio-economic strata in a midwestern community. Results reconfirm that the lost-letter technique can be a viable research tool and indicator of political attitudes, but no relationship between socio-economic status and address was observed.Keywords
