Rurality and the Residualist Social Welfare Response.

Camasso, Michael J.; Moore, Dan E.

Rural Sociology, v50 n3 p397-408 Fall 1985

Responses of 9,957 Pennsylvanians to a statewide needs assessment questionnaire were examined to determine if there was a rural/urban difference in residualist beliefs about social welfare programs. Results demonstrated that rural respondents were clearly less supportive of specific welfare programs and less accepting of institutional remedies for social service problems. (JHZ)
