Considers how Americans define the quality of their life experiences, as expressed in their perceptions, evaluations, and satisfactions.

The authors cover such topics as the residential environment, the experience of work, marriage, and family life, and personal resources and competence. They also report on the situation of women and the quality of the life experience of black people.
