The Variable Effects of Education on Liberal Attitudes: A Comparative-Historical Analysis of Anti-Semitism Using Public Opinion Survey Data.

Examines the liberalizing effects of education, using anti-Semitism as a dependent variable, in four countries (United States, West Germany, France, and Austria). Reports that the effects of education on liberal values are not universal but, rather, vary systematically according to country's liberal-democratic regime form and degree of religious heterogeneity.
