Sample

Nationally, representative samples were used in all nations but India, where rural areas and regions experiencing terrorism were underrepresented (and thus caution must be used in generalizing the results to the nation as a whole). Sample sizes ranged from a low of 770 in Finland to nearly 5,000 in India, and most were within the 1,000 to 1,500 range. The samples, therefore, yielded results that should have margins of error of approximately 3 percent of the entire national populations.
