1 Caucasian 2 African-American 3 Other -----------------------------------------------------------Respondents expressed their opinions on the following statements about the energy crisis :

V19. If the energy shortage gets any worse, the country will be in bad shape. V20. The worst of the energy crisis has passed. V21. Science and technology will be able to resolve the energy crisis without conservation. V22. Saving energy requires you to make major sacrifices. V23. The energy crisis is for real. V24. Utility companies should be allowed to burn cheaper fuel even though this would cause more pollution. V25. The petroleum companies have not done all they can to solve the energy problem. V26. Congress has done all it can to solve the energy problem. V27. Rationing of energy resources will be necessary for at least the next five years. V28. Conserving electricity will save me money in the long run. V29. The natural gas companies have done all they can to solve the energy problem. V30. My electricity bill would be the same no matter what I did. V31. There is not much an average citizen can do to save electricity. V32. President Carter has done all he can to solve the energy problem. V33. At this point in time our traditional energy resources (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) are insufficient to continue energy consumption at the present rate. V34. It would be easy for me to cut down on the use of electricity in my home. V35. We should forget about reducing pollution until our energy problems are solved. V36. My personal conservation efforts have little impact on total consumption of energy. V37. Because of the abundance of coal, industries should be encouraged to switch to coal as a fuel despite the air pollution it causes. V38. The electric companies have not done all they can to solve the energy problem. Question 7. Indicate below, by circling the appropriate number, the degree to which you will use mass transportation for going to work (or school) for a given percentage increase in gasoline prices (assume that the current price of gasoline is on the average 1.20 per gallon). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Increase in Will not Will use it Will use it Will use it Will use it gasoline price use it infrequently moderately frequently very frequentl y -------------------------------------------------------------------------------10% 1 2 3 4 5 20% 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100% 1 2 3 4 5 150% 1 2 3 4 5 More than 150% 1 2 3 4 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
