Presenting Split Opinions in a Color Chart

This color chart by Pew Research published 10 September 2020, reveals a useful way to depict split opinions of a study. Here are a few observations:

1. Color coding the groups makes it easy to detect the differences.

2. Limiting the chart to 4 items makes it easy to see what's going on. If there were more items, a separate chart and text would be better.

3. The anchor points along a line provide visual evidence of the divide.

4. The "All voters" column on the right shows how useless an average would be to understand what is going on in a society (in this case, the US).

I know how to take notes. 6. I usually do very well in school and at academic tasks. Reliability, Validity, and Other Research notes In the article describing the development and use of the ASE, the authors observed: “As predicted, academic self-efficacy was significantly and directly related to academic expectations and academic performance.” (Chemers et al., 2001, p. 61) Sutton et al. (2011) reported Cronbach's alpha of .83 in their study of academic self-esteem and personal strengths. ASE was highly positively correlated with ACT scores (.24) and GPA (.39)....
