Canadian students overwhelmingly believed the Holocaust occurred.

Evidence

The 252 students’ means are printed after each item in Exhibit 10.1. Adding them up, you can see that they average 60.6, about halfway between “moderately agree” and “strongly agree.” The mean intercorrelation among the eight items equaled .41, producing an alpha of .84. Summed scores correlated significantly with RWA (~—.21) and my Ethnocentrism measure (—.44). — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3096

• XREF: The negative RWA correlation previews the chapter’s likely finding that authoritarians are more receptive to denial propaganda.
• QUESTION: Sample is intro psych students in Canada in 1992 — would a US or broader sample shift these means?
