Psychologists and nuclear war: A survey.

Surveyed 290 members (187 males and 103 females) of the American Psychological Association about their attitudes toward nuclear war. Findings show that the Council of Representatives' resolution calling for a Soviet-American nuclear weapons freeze was supported by a majority. Females were more supportive of the resolution. Less than one-fourth of Ss responded that the nuclear war issue had entered into their personal decision making. Ss supported public involvement in the issue.
