Attitude Formation Models: Insights from TETRAD

The goal of this paper is to examine the use of TETRAD to generate attitude formation models from data. We review the controversy regarding models of attitude formation in the psychology literature, and we re-analyze the data using different subroutines from TETRAD to shed further light on this controversy.
