This file should be printed at 17 or 20 pitch to show all columns. ---------- Appendix A ---------- A rough chart of the results from the survey. Values that are missing are either not applicable (ie std dev of 1 number), need to be analysed by hand to remove bogus values, or were lost due to my time restriction on receiving surveys. The data is contained on the floppy disk as well as the two large computer paper bundles given. geo.* are the complete surveys for each person grouped by country, while *.dat are the surveys grouped by country question by question. Both are parsed for easier viewing. A sample survey result is printed at the end of this sheet.
