Participation in A[merican] P[sychological] A[ssociation] voting.

"Our study is limited to the ballots distributed in the Spring of 1954: the presidential nomination ballot, the presidential election ballot, and a ballot proposing changes in the bylaws… . While a somewhat higher percentage of the Fellows vote than do Associates, nevertheless the Associates are so much more numerous that the great majority of the votes in each election came from this membership class." Approximately half of the respondents on each poll consisted of persons who had no divisional affiliation. Four tables are presented, one indicating the percentage of members of each division returning ballots and another indicating the percentage of voters belonging to each division.
