Year: 2003
Module: Disability
Variable: VBFEEL1 - VBFEEL14

I am now going to ask about a few hypothetical situations. I would like to remind you that there are no right or wrong answers, only opinions.

You are waiting for a bus. A scruffily dressed person who looks as though they have not washed for some time is in front of you. They look nervous, and are talking and laughing to themselves. As the bus is arriving they turn round. While looking at the floor, they ask for someone to take the money from their wallet. They say they can't touch the money themselves as it is dangerous. How would you feel?

The table below shows the percentage of respondents identifying each response.
