- B Families of outcomes: Construction of indices First, we group our outcome measures into different families of outcomes, and create an index for each family. We use the method described in Anderson (2008) to create the various indices.47 We define the families of outcomes as follows: • Opinions about Immigrants 1: We compute an index of the beliefs that people have regarding immigrants. – Immigrants are more likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. [Strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree] – Immigrants are more likely to be unemployed than U.S. citizens. [Strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree] – Immigrants generally learn English within a reasonable amount of time. [Strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree] • Policy Preferences: We compute an index of people’s policy preferences regarding immigration.
