Description: The Surveys of Public Attitudes and Response to Federal Energy Policy, upon which these subsets are based, consist of forty-two national telephone surveys conducted for the United States Federal Energy Administration by the Opinion Research Corporation of Princeton, N.J. These instructional subsets contain information from two of the series of surveys conducted between July 1974, and May 1976. Information was obtained by telephone from independent samples of approximately 300 respondents as part of an omnibus energy survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation. The surveys were administered as part of a program to ascertain on a timely basis the American public's knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, motivations, preferences, and behavior regarding issues of energy conservation and the environment. The topical coverage of the survey includes the public's perception of the role of the federal government in the energy policy area, personal knowledge and sources of information about energy, perceptions of actual or potential government action, and personal efforts to conserve energy. Information was also obtained on the respondents' behavior with regard to home insulation, driving habits, and the use of mass transit.
