Description
This represents an analysis of the inter-relationship between political
beliefs and two distinct types of political actions. Data were gathered
from a random sample of college students and nine hypotheses were tested
using tabular and regression analysis. It was found that a direct
relationship does exist between conventional political beliefs and
conventional political actions, and the presence of an inverse relationship
between conventional political beliefs and non-conventional political
actions was also detected. In both cases, an individual's predisposition
toward political change was found to have significant effect upon the
above stated relationships. It was concluded that attitudes toward
political change constitutes an integral part of the relationship that
exists between political beliefs and political actions.
