• catalog abstract "This ongoing study was begun in 1968 in an attempt to fill the need for a better understanding of the determinants of family income and its changes. The investigators hoped to discover whether most short-term changes in economic status are due to forces outside the family or if they can be traced to something in the individual's own background or in the pattern of his or her thinking and behavior. The theoretical model of economic behavior underlying the research is dynamic. It was hypothesized that personality variables affect economic behavior which in turn affects economic status. Changes in economic status as well as its level are linked back to the personality variable and the circle is closed. Outside forces may, of course, affect all three. The data can shed light on what causes family income to rise above or fall below the poverty line. In line with the theoretical model, the questions asked fall generally under the headings of economic status, economic behavior, and attitudes. Specifically, they deal with such things as employment, income, housing, car ownership, food expenditure, transportation, do-it-yourself home maintenance and car repairs, education, disability, time use, family background, and a series of questions designed to measure attitudes and personality. Supplemental information was gathered about such things as local wages, employment conditions, and county public school expenditures.".

• catalog description "Households that had at least one member of the noninstitutionalized population of the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. The portion of the sample called the SRC subsample, when taken by itself, was representative of the households in the coterminous United States in 1968. The second subsample consisted of the low-income non-elderly households sampled by the Census Bureau for the 1966-1967 Survey of Economic Opportunity. These households, drawn with unequal probabilities of selection that depended on geographic location, age, race, and income, were added to the sample to insure there would be a sufficient number of low income and, especially black low-income households to permit separate analyses of these populations.".

• catalog description "The sample is a combination of a representative cross-section of nearly 3,000 families selected from the Survey Research Center's master sampling frame and a sub-sample of about 1,900 low-income families previously interviewed by the Census Bureau for the Office of Economic Opportunity. The combined sample is appropriately weighted to be representative of all people in the United States. Heads of the same families have been interviewed each year since 1968 as have the heads of families containing members who were part of a 1968 household and later left to start households of their own or to join another household. Panel losses have been more than offset by the addition of these newly formed families, bringing the present sample size to over 6,900.".
• catalog description "The study was initially funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity. Later funding was provided by the United Stats Departments of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Servces), Labor, and Agriculture, and the National Institute of Aging. The Sloan, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations have provided supplementary grants. The project is currently funded by the National Science Foundation.".
