§ This is a lower triangular symmetrical table. ¹ Change and Continuity in American Democracy: Ideas, Institutions, Practices, and Controversies. ² The Gathering of Interactions of Peoples, Cultures, and Ideas. ³ Economic and Technological Changes and Their Relation to Society, Ideas, and the Environment. ⁴ The Changing Role of America in the World. NOTE: Values in the table were obtained by computing a separate Pearson correlation coefficient for each plausible value, computing Fisher’s z-transformation for each value, computing the average of the transformed values, and computing the inverse transformation of the average.
