Involved Citizen Study.

The aim of the Involved Citizen Study is to develop a profile of who volunteers in collectivities beyond the nuclear family. Which personality, behavioral, and demographic traits correlate with volunteer practices? What are the barriers to volunteering? This study is one of a series that Urban Anthropology Inc. is developing that will provide a snapshot into the current state of American culture. Other studies that will be implemented are a work ethic study (currently in progress), an accountability study, and a collective values study. The latter two will be started in 2015.

The PI on the study is Dr. Jill Florence Lackey (Urban Anthropology Inc.).
