This research focuses on the attitudes, perceptions, and program preferences of aged and disabled persons who received public assistance in 1973 and supplemental security income payments in 1974. The Social Security Administration gathered the data in a nationwide survey of the low-income aged and disabled. Most respondents did not feel embarrassed or bothered about receiving public assistance in 1973 and were generally satisfied with their treatment by the welfare agency. Response to SSI in 1974 was even more favorable. Satisfaction with agency performance remained at a high level and feelings of embarrassment generally declined. SSI was preferred over public assistance by most respondents. Administrative efficiency and the size of cash benefits apparently were more important considerations than the degree of stigma perceived.
本研究聚焦于1973年接受公共援助以及1974年领取补充保障收入款项的老年人和残疾人的态度、看法及项目偏好。社会保障管理局在一项针对低收入老年人和残疾人的全国性调查中收集了这些数据。大多数受访者对在1973年接受公共援助并不感到尴尬或困扰，并且总体上对福利机构给予他们的待遇感到满意。1974年对补充保障收入的反应更为积极。对机构表现的满意度维持在较高水平，尴尬感总体上有所下降。大多数受访者更倾向于补充保障收入而非公共援助。行政效率和现金福利的数额显然比所感受到的污名程度更重要。
