| Tiivistelmä: | Retrospective attitudinal accounts collected in 2006 are compared with the contemporaneous attitudes (herein as: atts.) of people in 1995 towards euthanasia, homosexuality, and the presence of migrants. The usefulness of recalled atts. for descriptive purposes on the individual and on the aggregate level is examined, as well as the value of statistically modelling change with recalled data. It is shown: i. how accurate retrospective accounts are, ii. respondents with which characteristics are more accurate in recollecting their 1995 atts., and iii. whether causal inferences with recalled accounts of the 1995 atts. lead to similar results compared with the use of the contemporaneous accounts of the 1995 atts. Among others, there is found evidence for a strong consistency bias and an aggregate trend bias, as well. |
