Of course, political party identification is related to traditionalism: Republicans are more likely to espouse traditionalism than Democrats. But is this relationship nonlinear? Use the ANES Traditionalism Index as your dependent variable. For your independent variables, first use the recoded political party variable; then, in a second model, add the squared version of this variable. Create a table of your results, then a graph, and then summarize the relationship.
