- catalog abstract "The study examines closely the distribution and redistribution of family income in the United States, and family attitudes, histories, and motivations that determine income. The Ford Foundation, the Office of Education, and the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation provided funding for this study. Data were collected on a wide range of demographic, economic, sociological, and psychological factors which affect the economic position of the family. These factors included information on present occupation and job history, the kinds of communities in which people grew up, type and adequacy of the present dwelling place, personality measures, religious preferences, political affiliation, past family history, and data on the actions and decisions of family members. A long series of questions was asked about the educational level achieved by adults in the family and about parents' aspirations and plans for the educational and occupational attainment of their children. Also included were measures of geographic mobility, physical disabilities, labor force participation of wives, attitudes toward hard work, achievement motivations as well as demographic characteristics such as sex, age, and race. Detailed data were collected on three major components of family income: earnings, investments, and transfer payments. The study utilizes a sample which provides reliable data on low income families as well as for people with middle and high incomes for purposes of comparison. To determine that distributions of income, property tax, and other measures would be respresentative, respondents were selected to include a cross-section sample of United States families. A supplementary sample of low income families was drawn from the cross-section sample that was used in the Survey Research Center's Survey of Consumer Finances, 1960, with the result that low income families were represented about twice as frequently as other families and the data were weighted to represent the entire population. Analysis is therefore possible using three different units: the family, the spending unit, and a still more nuclear unit with the "adult unit" which separated adults or adult couples even if they did not keep separate finances.".
