Energy-related attitudes and behavior of the poor and the elderly: highlight report. Volume XIII
This report is part of a series of studies dealing with general public behavior and attitudes towards energy conservation. Specifically, this study concentrates on energy-related attitudes and behavior of the poor and the elderly, and is divided into three parts: major problems in the U.S. and how they affect the poor and the elderly; plans for 1974 income tax rebates; and tradeoffs: pollution vs. price. Those people interviewed for the study include people whose family incomes are under $10,000, and people 50 years of age and older. Items included in the interviews are: problems facing the U.S. today, such as rising unemployment, inflation, energy shortage; looking ahead at the problem of unemployment; impact of inflation; the Federal government: spend or economize; trend in perceived impact of inflation; anticipated consumer price fluctuation; potential of income to keep pace with prices; fuels used in households; perceived and projected increases in prices of fuels; attitudes toward selling food to other nations; and ways to spend tax rebates.
