Fig. 1

Percent of legislators rating a given research characteristic as high priority, displayed for the overall sample, and stratified by latent class. Figure notes: Number displayed within each point is the percentage of state legislators who reported that characteristic as high priority, conditional on the specific group. Percentages can theoretically range from zero to 100, and we present raw sample percentages for overall group, and latent class parameter estimates (i.e., conditional item-response probabilities) for class-stratified columns. Number of legislators in latent classes sums to 860 because 2 legislators were missing on all latent class analysis input variables
