Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Theme #34

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

*1. Consider two opinions regarding our society: opinion 1) Our present society must be valiantly defended against all subversive forces; opinion 2) Our society must be gradually improved by reforms. My own view is closer to opinion 1) than it is to opinion 2).  

*2. One of the changes in our way of life that I'd like to see take place in the future is that people will come to have a greater respect for authority.

*3. Marriage is an out-dated institution.

*4. Ideas that have stood the test of time are generally better than new ideas.

*5. On the whole, I think our country's economic system has been tinkered with already so that it is now the best possible.

*6. When jobs are scarce, men should have more right to a job than women.

*7. In many married couples, women take the main responsibility for the care of the home and children, while men take the main responsibility for supporting the family financially. Everyone in the family benefits from this arrangement.

*8. A husband's job is to earn money; a wife's job is to look after the home and family.

*9. Both the husband and the wife should contribute to the household income.

10. It’s fine for men to be aggressive, dominating, and tough -- but women should be passive, submissive, and gentle.

11. I don’t think that it’s natural for men to be soft, gentle, nurturing, and compassionate.

*12. I’d say that it is essential that high school students be taught respect for authority.

*13. Rather than believing that religion can answer all or most of today’s problems, I view it as being largely old-fashioned and out of date.

*14. It is much better for everyone if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.

*15. I support the goals of the women’s movement.

*16. Divorce is morally acceptable.
