Public Attitudes toward Social Problems: The Impact of Shared Life Experiences in the Community of Residence.

Bogart, Robert W.; Hutchison, E. R.

Social Problems, v26 n1 p97-111 Oct 1978, Oct78

Data extracted from the 1960 and 1970 censuses and from a 1976 community survey indicate that community of residence is a crucial factor in shaping attitudes towards social problems. For this reason, community should be viewed as an independent moral order through which individuals attempt to decode the larger society. (Author/WI)
