Participants Representativeness
(see also attached documents)


On each of the 59 attitude questions on economic and foreign policy, the difference on average between participants and non participants is only 4.0 percent of what it could possibly have been. So, the difference in attitudes between participants and non-participants is statistically significant but practically small.
Participants were less euro-skeptic than non-participants were. Euro-skepticism was measured with a battery of 10 questions scored on a 11-point scale, where 0 indicated that decisions should be made by individual member states and 10 indicated decisions should be made by the EU. 4 out of the10 questions were statistically significant, but that is because the sample size is large. The average difference between participants and non participants is only 3.5 percent of what it could possibly have been. Similar to other attitude questions, the difference in euro-skepticism between participants and non-participants is statistically significant but practically small.
