Love/Romance/Heart vs. Nationalism/Duty/Tradition

[karoaper]

We've had a similar poll about mixed relationships in general. This poll is more convoluted than most I've seen here, but it is so it can capture the interplay between nationalistic feelings and the humanity of love (nature vs nurture if you will). The underlying assumption is that most are guilty (more or less) of double-standards when it comes to their actions and actions of others. Please dig in deep for the answers. Also even if you have very week NOT OK feelings, still choose NOT OK. OK is a very stringent options set for those that are truelly and honestly 100% OK with it.

It'd be nice to have some more complex polling constructs with categories at least.

LEGEND:

<M>: male
<F>: female

<Type I> Has been in long and/or serious mixed relationship(s) OR in many mixed relationships of any kind.
<Type II> Has been in light mixed relationship(s) and few in quantity
<Type III> Has never been in a mixed relationship


edit: Obviously part of the question is whether there's a difference in the way Armenian males see Armenian females in relationships with non-Armenians from the visa versa case.

edit: I've changed Type I and Type II.

No multiple selections?

I didn't think a person could be more than one Type, according to my defs.

Look at the way you did your poll. It asks how you feel about these people. You could presumably approve of males type I, and females type II, but not of females type III, or whatever. There should be multiple options available, since one won't cover everything.

In your post, though, it sounds like you're asking us to simply select what type of person we are, in which one selection is the max. Which did you mean? This is all very confusing. When asking how we feel with the OKs/not OKs, are you simply asking to either approve or disapprove of our own actions?

I see what you mean. My bad. It is confusing. I can't edit the post anymore. But to answer your question, I meant the latter, whereby your choose to answer if you're OK with mixed relationships or NOT OK, considering you're a M/F and whichever Type. Thanks.

lol, yeah it is a bit. Wish there were categories that I could define. But in your case, you're an <M> so the question is are you Type I or II or III. Once you know, choose NOT OK for <M> and whatever type you are. See I was trying to create a multi-group poll one that divides the sample into specific groups and then measures the statistics. One could then do some analysis of variances or ANOVA to see if there truly is a difference in the way males see this question from females. Alsom one could see if there is a signficant difference in the answers between various levels of personal involvement in mixed relationships (the double-standard part) or is the view of mixed relationships constant and independent of that.
