Characteristics of the Sample
Demographic Characteristics
The demographic characteristics selected for inclusion
on the interview schedule were: sex, race, age, marital
status, education, occupation and age of children. Infor-
mation was also collected pertaining to the length of resi-
dency in the community, hometown identification, place of
birth and ownership of ones' place of residence. A previ-
ous review of the literature indicated that sex and race
were related to participation patterns (4, p. 26, 52; 5,
p. 246). No hypothesis concerning race was formulated for
this particular study since the emphasis was on comparing
participation patterns for two different-sized communities
and the lack of members of minority groups in Krum made
such a comparison impossible. A number of previous studies
indicated that age was related to patterns of participation,
therefore, this information was solicited from the respond-
ents (7, p. 198; 4, p. 32, 34). As listed on the interview
schedule, the age variable was classified into seven cate-
gories. To facilitate the analysis of the data and to
enhance comparability of the findings with other studies,
the seven categories were combined into three groups in-
cluding: The young, that is, respondents from age eighteen
through twenty-nine; the middle-aged, including those from
thirty years of age through fifty-nine; and the older
