Respondents rated the contribution using a four-point scale, from "not at all" to "very much", and could also choose a "don't know" options. Only four items had more than 4% "don't know" response: appreciating racial equity (4.9%), appreciating gender equity (5.2%), exercising public responsibility and community service (5.2%), and recognizing and acting upon ethical principles (5.3%).
