Abstract
Serendipitously occasioned, interim findings from an exploratory study “which—as Whitehead once said of William James's pragmatism—'chiefly starts a lot of hares for people to chase.' ”3 The data, collected in a 1965 community survey of health, show that no indulgence in the sick role apparently entails greater mortality risk than docs a modicum of such indulgence.Keywords
