The Science of Dignity
Measuring Personhood and Well-Being in the United States
This book provides original evidence arguing for dignity as an indicator of public health, by offering a scientific framework for measuring dignity and its social determinants. Hitlin and Andersson show that dignity can be efficiently measured by using simple survey items that ask individuals whether there is "dignity" in their life or in how they are treated by others. Hitlin and Andersson show that dignity possesses universal value for health and well-being inAmerica, providing a scientific basis for collective consensus and social inspiration.
