The ten variables in this indicator are generated from question one in the Ethos 90’s survey. The question asked respondents to rank their agreement or disagree with ten statements relating to their opinions about God, society, institutional roles and racial/ethnic change in the United States. The statements are by no means exhaustive or comprehensive, but they are broad enough to capture a helpful cross-section of people’s beliefs and values. The statements have been gathered into four clusters called: God, Society, Institutional Roles and Racial/Ethnic Change.
