Abstract: | Cross-section samples in five states were asked in December2004 and July 2005 whether the Iraq war is more like the VietnamWar or more like World War II. The Vietnam analogy was chosendisproportionately by those who were alive during that war,though the choice was not limited to exposure to the Vietnamperiod during what have been called the "critical years" ofadolescence and early adulthood. The distinction between twoforms of remembering, recall and recognition, helps situatethe results with regard to past research on cohort effects oncollective memory. Evidence is also presented against interpretingthe present effect as related to the biological and social correlatesof aging. Other results are included on the relations of analogychoice to partisan identification, gender, education, race,and region. |
