• catalog abstract "This survey of attitudes of American men regarding violence was conducted in the summer of 1969 by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research at The University of Michigan. The survey included responses from 1,374 men, aged 16-64, drawn from the Survey Research Center's national sample of dwellings. The investigators examined the level of violence which respondents viewed as justified to accomplish social control and social change and emphasized the role of the respondent's personal values, his definition of violence, and his identification with the groups involved in violence. To examine the degree of violence which American men felt could be justified for social control, the investigators asked respondents to react to situations involving protests and other disturbances. These situations included hoodlum gang disturbances, student protests, and black protest demonstrations. The respondents were asked what police actions--from ''letting it go'' to ''shooting to kill''--were appropriate as police control measures. Several such items were combined to form an index of ''violence for social control.'' In questions dealing with the level of violence necessary to bring about social change, repondents were asked whether they agreed with the necessity of ''protest in which some people will be killed'' in order to bring about changes sought by blacks, by student demonstrators, and in general. These items were combined into an index of ''violence for social change.'' This instructional subset of sixty-two variables from the original study includes an initial series of questions which ask whether respondents view such actions as protest demonstrations, police frisking, looting, burglary, and draft-card burning as violence. Then the study inquires about possible causes of violence and motives of those who participate in violence. Another set of variables deals with relative views of property damage and personal injury and respondents' agreement or disagreement with such statements as ''it is often necessary to use violence to prevent violence,'' ''many people learn only through violence,'' and ''when a person harms you, you should turn th other cheek and forgive him.'' Respondents were also asked for their views on the roles of courts and police agencies in combatting crime. Then, after a number of demographic and socio-economic variables (education, age, region of the country), the subset concludes with a number of derived indices of violence attitudes which draw upon survey questions to form general patterns. These derived indices include attitudes toward retributive justice, self defense, kindness, suspicion, and trust. Finally, several summary measures gauge the respondents' general approval of violence for social control and social change purposes.".
