“…Accordingly, we did not attempt to make samples representative of larger populations, because the studies were not intended to make broad statements or generalizations about tolerance within these groups. There are many studies that have investigated tolerance in different populations (e.g., Diefenbach & West, 2007;Hayes et al, 2004), including the mental health professions (e.g., Lauber, Anthony, Ajdacic-Gross, & Rössler, 2004;Sadow, Ryder, & Webster, 2002;Smith & Cashwell, 2010;Theriot & Lodato, 2012), that have linked tolerance to different individual demographic variables (e.g., Anglin, Link, & Phelan, 2006;Currin, Hayslip, & Temple, 2011;Hinkelman & Granello, 2003) or that have measured the effects of education or training on tolerance (e.g., Krameddine, DeMarco, Hassel, & Silverstone, 2013;Linden & Kavanagh, 2012;Pande, Saini, & Chaudhury, 2011). In the current series of studies, we conducted within-sample comparisons to determine whether, regardless of overall levels of tolerance within each sample, there were significant effects of premodified or postmodified language on tolerance.…”
