Evidence

I worked on the LWA Scale for another year, conducting six more studies, involving altogether 1,443 Manitoba students. (In other words, it took as many studies to develop this scale as it had to develop the RWA Scale, proving I had not learned a thing.) — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2913
