Here’s what Americans fear the most in 2023

Our fears and how they’ve changed

With Halloween days away, we thought we’d take a look at Chapman University’s Survey of American Fears.

The surveyThe goal of the Chapman University Survey of American Fears is to collect annual data on the fears, worries and concerns of Americans, and how those fears are associated with other attitudes and behaviors. There were 97 topics, ranging from government, health and environmental matters to disaster preparedness, the paranormal and personal anxieties. This year’s survey was conducted by SSRS research online via the SSRS Opinion Panel and invited adults ages 18 and older to participate. There were 1,014 participants and the data was collected from March 27 to April 4.

Biggest fearSkepticism of government is baked into America’s political culture and fear of corrupt government officials has remained the No. 1 fear in America since first topping the chart in 2015. However, the percentage of respondents who are very afraid or afraid of corrupt government officials has dropped from 62% in 2022. The height was 79.6% in 2020-21.

2022 and 2023The Top 10 list is very similar to last year’s, comprising most of the same fears in varying order. The only exception is the replacement of the fear of pollution in oceans, rivers and lakes with the fear of cyberterrorism, both occupying the No. 9 position.

You can find all the fears ranked by percentage here.

Chapman University professors have a book available, which was published by NYU Press, “Fear Itself, The Causes and Consequences of Fear in America,” by Christopher D. Bader, Joseph O. Baker, L. Edward Day and Ann Gordon.

Persistent fear negatively affects individuals’ decision-making abilities and causes anxiety, depression and poor physical health. Further, fear harms communities and society by corroding social trust and civic engagement. Yet politicians often effectively leverage fears to garner votes and companies routinely market unnecessary products that promise protection from imagined or exaggerated harms.

Fear Itself is a novel, wide-ranging study of the social consequences of fear, ultimately suggesting that there is good reason to be afraid of fear itself.

How to survive financially as a single mom

~

Being a single mom can be one of the toughest jobs out there. Juggling the responsibilities of parenting and running a household while also trying to make ends meet can be a daunting challenge. But with some thoughtful planning and careful budgeting, it’s possible for single moms to keep their heads above water, financially.

Here are a few tips and strategies for surviving financially as a single mom:

1. Create a budget

One of the most important things that single moms can do to manage their finances is to create a budget. This involves tracking all of your income/ expenses and setting realistic goals for your spending. Look for areas where you can cut back, such as eating out less or shopping for groceries more carefully and try to stick to your budget as closely as possible.

2. Find ways to increase your income

If you’re struggling to make ends meet, you may need to find ways to earn more money. This could involve taking on a second job or freelance gig, selling items you no longer need, or negotiating a raise or promotion at your current job.

3. Utilize government assistance programs

There are a number of government assistance programs available to single moms, such as food stamps, housing assistance, and childcare subsidies. Be sure to research these programs and see if you qualify – they can go a long way toward alleviating financial stress.

4. Look for ways to save on bills

Cutting back on your monthly bills can help free up more money for other expenses. Look for ways to save on utilities, such as turning off lights and unplugging electronics when they’re not in use. You can also save on your phone and internet bills by shopping around for better deals.

5. Build an emergency fund

Having an emergency fund can be a lifesaver when unexpected expenses arise, such as a car repair or medical bill. Try to save at least three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a savings account.

Surviving financially as a single mom can be tough, but with persistence and smart planning, it’s possible to thrive. By creating a budget, finding ways to increase your income, utilizing government assistance programs, saving on bills, and building an emergency fund, you can set yourself up for financial stability and success.
