Review of Marches and Parades: A Survey of Views Across Scotland
Footnotes
1 Further analysis using logistic regression modelling shows that this difference is not because there is a higher proportion of Catholics in the areas where experiences of this type or march are more common. In other words, after controlling for area, Catholics are still more likely to report being 'otherwise involved'.
2 except 'feeling you were making a difference' and 'feeling you were involved in something important' where those only 'otherwise affected' excluded and 'being prevented from going somewhere', 'being held up or delayed' and 'feeling angry, offended or upset' where those only a participant excluded.
3 While the differences commented on below are statistically significant, the results should be treated with a degree of caution due to the relatively small base sizes. The equivalent analysis has not been undertaken for local gala parades because of the very small base size for those only 'otherwise affected'.
4 While it is not normal practice in the reporting of social research results to use %ages when referring to base sizes of less than 100, it has been done in these charts for ease of understanding and comparison.
5 This may well be due to the controversy surrounding a proposed march by a far right wing group in Aberdeen which was planned for the end of November 2004. There was a considerable amount of media coverage of the issue during the fieldwork period. (In the event, Aberdeen City Council decided that the march should not proceed.)
6 Logistic regression analysis shows that this difference remains after controlling for area.
7 Logistic regression analysis shows that these differences remain after controlling for religion.
8 For each issue, respondents were asked whether they thought it was very important, quite important, not very important or not at all important to take it into account when making decisions about marches. Values of 1-4 were assigned to the responses (not at all important=1, not very important=2, quite important=3, very important = 4) to create the mean score.
9 Asked only for local gala day parades and Orange Order/Irish Republican marches
10 Responses sum to more than 100% because respondents were allowed to mention up to two preferred methods.
11 Calculated by assigning the following values to responses: strongly disagree=1, disagree a little=2, neither agree nor disagree=3, agree a little=4, strongly agree=5.
12 In Fife and in Dumfries & Galloway, the local authority area is contiguous with the police force area. In the other six police force areas, two or more local authority areas constitute the police force area.
13 The weightings shown have been rounded to two decimal places - the actual weightings used were rounded to seven decimal places.
