Summary:
This represents an analysis of the inter-relationship between political beliefs and two distinct types of political actions. Data were gathered from a random sample of college students and nine hypotheses were tested using tabular and regression analysis. It was found that a direct relationship does exist between conventional political beliefs and conventional political actions, and the presence of an inverse relationship between conventional political beliefs and non-conventional political actions was also detected. In both cases, an individual's predisposition toward political change was found to have significant effect upon the above stated relationships. It was concluded that attitudes toward political change constitutes an integral part of the relationship that exists between political beliefs and political actions.
