General social survey, 1973

The survey covers items viewed by the NORC staff and an advisory panel of sociologists as "mainstream" interests of modern academic sociology. As in the 1972 survey, the interview covers the areas of socio-economic status and social mobility, intrafamily relations, life cycle related changes in behavior, racial attitudes, social control, civil liberties, and morale. Additional questions were added dealing with ecology and social deviance. The data were collected as the second in a series of general social surveys. The survey was administered to a cross-section national sample of adults 18 years of age or older.
