The questionnaire (the Community Standard Index) consisted of measures of the perceived quality of community life, authoritarianism (conservatism), perceived effects, offensiveness, personal use of pornography, tolerance to sexual cues in various media, demographics, and religiosity. Analysis of 226 (of 1,000 mailed) responses indicates that both samples had moderately low levels of tolerance toward pornography, as predicted. The stability of these results from year to year and across both communities suggests the index is consistently stable and may prove useful in other communities. In addition, freedom of choice, self-reported use of pornography, degree of perceived sexual proclivity, and overall tolerance to sexual cues in home-video cassettes accounted for more variance in index scores than did demographic or religiosity variables. 45 references.
