TABLE 3.12 CONNECTEDNESS TO THE PAST ON SIX OCCASIONS BY INCOME -- AFRICAN AMERICAN 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 AFRICAN AMERICAN 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
