Question:
In the news, it is often reported that younger people have much more positive attitudes toward gay policy issues than older people have. See if this is true according to ANES data by running a simple regression with age as the independent variable (the recoded version: age in years) and the Gay Rights Index as the dependent variable. Then, consider the possibility that younger people may be more supportive in general of nontraditional lifestyles: create a second regression model by adding the Traditional Values Index as an independent variable. Finally, consider that both of these former effects may be affected by the fact that younger people are more likely to know a gay man or lesbian: create a third regression model by adding the variable for gay acquaintance (use the recoded version of this).
Create a table that contains all three models and fully interpret your results.
Be sure to run your final set of models in such a way that all three use the same cases.
