The sampling of poll collections on quality of life begins with an overview of Americans' goals in life, followed by listings of people's personal problems, frustrations, and disappointments. Questions directed to public problems and issues were deliberately avoided here. First and foremost, over the period surveyed, Americans' chief aims in life turn out to be anything but materialistic. Most wish for peace of mind, family contentment and secondarily, health. Regrets are almost entirely that they did not get enough education. Conversely, however, worries and fears in the U.S. are overwhelmingly economic. Financial insecurity and not being able to make ends meet are almost universal bugaboos. Rarely is wealth per se given any priority among people's hopes for their lives. All interviews were made in person. Dates are usually those of publication; only occasionally do they represent time of interviewing. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1973 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
