 I measured traditional control beliefs with two open response questions in the

interview "What are the kinds of things you can't control that keep you (might keep

you) from using traditional farming/ gardening practices?", "Why?" Responses to the

first question are provided in Table 4-9.

 Both TAP user groups identified weather, drought, land quality, time and weeds as

things that could keep them from farming traditionally.

Subjective Norms

 The index was not used for analysis because of data for the subjective norms index.

There was one item in the questionnaire which measured subjective norms. There was no

missing data associated with this scalar response question. I used participants' scores

from this one item to measure subject norms. I did not include one participant's

responses in the analysis because he/she responded to the question by writing on the

questionnaire "I don't know." This was the same participant who responded to the

control beliefs indices with "not applicable."
