Abstract
Using epidemiological techniques, a group of psychiatrically disturbed individuals and a group of healthy, well-adjusted people were identified in a rural community. These 123 people were studied intensively for five years. Methods included psychiatric interviewing, collecting community informat and medical data, and psychological testing. A list of personality attributes which seem to equip people to deal with this particular environment was evolved.
