Abstract
Bar fractions and bar strengths are compared for active and non-active galaxies using a sample of 180 galaxies from the Ohio State University Bright Galaxy Survey (OSUBGS). The identification of bars and calculation of the perturbation strengths are made using Fourier techniques. We found that bars in AGNs are massive, but have weak perturbation strengths due to dilution of forces by massive bulges. Also, active galaxies were found to avoid the strongest bars.
