Harry Timbres was a Quaker physician who moved to the Soviet Union in the 1930's.
Frederick Douglass' Paper was an anti-slavery newspaper published by Frederick Douglass after his paper the North Star merged with the Liberty Party Paper of Syracuse in June 1851.
In political science, a Wilson-Patterson Index is a research tool used to evaluate political attitudes. Used by Glenn Wilson and John Patterson in 1968, this index presents individuals with political buzzwords (such as "Patriotism", "Abortion", or "Socialism") and asks them to judge if they think what they represent are positive, neutral, or negative. Variations also ask questions about political policy, such as "Society works better if people are given the benefit of the doubt"; personal morals, like "The best leaders are willing to change their minds and to admit to even embarrassing mistakes"; credibility values, like "Facts get in the way of truth"; and other beliefs which influence political opinions.[1]
Recent uses of the Wilson-Patterson index have been to evaluate whether genes play a role in political attitudes. Questions in these analyses attempt to gauge the fundamental beliefs which lead respondents to feel as they do about politics. This underlying psychology is then compared between twins (specifically, between [monozygotic]] and dyzygotic twin pairs), to ensure only genetic difference factors into differing responses.[2]
