Reform Party voters scored highest on ethnocentrism among Canadian party supporters

Evidence

These parents also filled out my twenty-item Ethnocentrism Scale. The Reform Party supporters had the highest mean of all, 101.0. The Progressive Conservatives came in at 83.1. Then came the Liberal boosters with 78.5, and the New Democrats with 76.8. The overall one-way F equaled 5.27 (p < .001). The Reform mean was significantly higher than all of the others. So the Reform party appears to have been the choice of the most prejudiced people. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3436
