31) Political Scientist Tom Travers tested whether the “military effort of modern industrial nations” is caused by the “electoral success by the right-wing parties” or the “popularity of nationalist beliefs” in a society. He tested the theory by looking at data on 22 large industrial nations from 1969 to 1999. He measured military effort as the “share of the gross national product” for military (e.g., weapons, training, stationing troops), right-wing party success by the percent of votes going to right-wing political parties in both national and local elections, and nationalist beliefs by attitude data from each nation. Data for the share of the gross national product came from the International Labour Organization, while data for right-wing party power and nationalist attitudes came from previous studies by other researchers. In this study, the UNIT OF ANALYSIS is A) the nation. B) the right-wing party. C) the individual. D) the military program. E) the organization supplying data (e.g., International Labor Organization). 32) Below is a list of features of qualitative or quantitative research.
