Abstract

The author examines the relationship between attitudes toward mental illness and psychiatric patients on the one hand and reactions to the withdrawal of Senator Thomas Eagleton as a candidate for Vice-President on the other.

The results indicated that OMI factor scores were substantially related to political views.
