This study analyzes a subsample of 523 households from the 1975 Lifestyles and Household Energy Use survey conducted for the Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies. The study explores the empirical relationship between a set of four (4) Energy-Related Attitude/Belief (ERAB) variables and household electricity and natural gas consumption and three (3) Energy-Related Discrete Choice (ERDC) variables. The ERAB variables were constructed, using principal components factor analysis, from a portion of the survey responses dealing with what households felt should be done to handle current or future energy shortages. A key finding of the study is that, in the context of a conventional econometric specification of electricity and natural gas consumption, ERAB variables are statistically significant although less significant than conventional explanatory variables for household energy consumption.
