      ab: This secondary analysis is a by-product of a large-scale inquiry into communications behavior in the Near and Middle East. An important feature of that research was its method of coping with a problem which confronts all international communications researchers who apply the survey method to the study of preindustrialized societies, namely, how to design a sample when adequate census data are not available and when nation-wide sampling would turn up too few individuals exposed to the mass media. During the analysis of the Iran interviews, important differences were found between attitudes, goal-values, identifications, and expectations of the politically left and the politically right. Extreme Leftists were found to desire a classless society, extreme Rightists desired a stronger and more unified Iran. Leftists identified with the proletariat, Rightists thought of themselves as members of Iran's true elite. Leftists expected their values to be realized through revolution, Rightists pinned their hopes on the expulsion of foreigners and the achievement of national solidarity. These findings have a direct relationship to research into communications behavior, for it is through these perspectives that political extremists receive and evaluate international communications.
