Energy Problems: Public Beliefs, Attitudes and Behaviors.
Thompson, Phyllis T.; MacTavish, John
This survey reported one phase of a larger project. The goals of the project are to plan and conduct a public education program on energy-related concerns that will produce an informed public, willing to support and cooperate with the strategies necessary for the long-term resolution of our energy problems. Reported in this document are the results of a survey conducted in metropolitan Grand Rapids, Michigan in February, 1976. Six hundred addresses were selected beginning with a random start. Personal interviews were conducted and a response rate of about 86% was obtained. The survey included six logic areas: (1) energy problems; (2) energy supplies; (3) energy shortages; (4) expectations of price increases; (5) adaptations to perceived energy shortages and energy cost increases; and (6) credibility of information sources. Results for individual items are reported as well as general conclusions. (RH)
