Now I have another kind of question. Suppose you are the only income earner in the family, but that your current job is ending. You have to choose between two new jobs. The first job would guarantee your current family income for life. The second job is also guaranteed for life and possibly better paying, but the income is less certain. There is a 50-50 chance that the second job will double your current family income for life and a 50-50 chance that it will cut your current family income by a third for life.
Which job would you take: the first job or the second job?
| YTEL-78 [] | Section: Tell Us What You Think |
Suppose the chances were 50-50 that the second job would double your current family income and 50-50 that it would cut it in half
Would you take the first job or the second job?
| YTEL-79 [] | Section: Tell Us What You Think |
Suppose the chances were 50-50 that the second job would double your current family income and 50-50 that it would only cut it by 20 percent.
Would you take the first job or the second job?

We have been choosing the questions about your life since your last interview on [LINTDATE~X]. Now, we'd like you to choose what to tell us. What has been the happiest moment in your life since that time?
INTERVIEWER: KEEP R TALKING UNTIL TIMER INDICATES 0 SECONDS REMAINING. R'S RESPONSE WILL BE RECORDED. PLEASE DO NOT TYPE WHILE THE RESPONDENT IS SPEAKING.
INTERVIEWER: TO KEEP R TALKING, USE YOUR OWN PROBES AS APPROPRIATE, OR THESE:
Who was there? Where did that happen?
What happened (what else happened?) When did this happen?
How did you feel? Tell me more.
INTERVIEWER: IF R DOESN'T RECALL A HAPPIEST MOMENT, USE YOUR OWN PROBES AS APPROPRIATE, OR THESE:
It doesn't necessarily have to be the happiest moment... Think about some time recently that you felt pretty good...
Who do you like to spend time with? What kinds of things do you like to do?
What types of places do you like to go? What about a time when someone around you seemed happy?
