TABLE 2.12 CONNECTEDNESS TO THE
PAST ON SIX OCCASIONS BY INCOME -- NATIONAL SAMPLE We asked our respondents for the
following information about six "occasions": "On a scale of
1 to 10, where 1 means you felt no connection to the past
and 10 means you felt a strong connection to the past,
please tell me how connected to the past you felt on the
following." The table below divides the National Sample into
six income groups, and reports the mean score each of those
six groups gave the six occasions listed in the far-left
column for connectedness. The numbers in parentheses
indicate the number of respondents of the given income group
who answered the given question. How connected to the
past do you feel when... Gathering with your
