A final report was obtained from the American
Psychological Association, which contained both
demographic information and the breakdown of
responses to key questions from the nationwide
survey (APA, 1995). Data from the report was then
compared to the over-65 sample to see what age
differences might be apparent between these two
samples. Statistical comparisons of sub-populations
were limited due to the unavailability of the raw
data from the nationwide survey. However, comparisons
were made on the basis of frequency
distributions
