  This study examines the attitudes of the residents of the Golden Triangle area towards their lifestyle in Southeast Texas. It focuses on residents’ perceptions of the effects of environmental pollution caused by the petrochemical plants. The data for this study were collected through a survey of 3,272 individuals in the Golden Triangle area. Statistical models such as logistic regression and factor analysis were used to analyze and ascertain if there were significant

  relationships between the response variables and the set of predictor variables. Variables tested included perceptual and attitudinal variables such as perception about pollution, health hazards, healthcare costs, neighborhoods close to the petrochemical plants, and economic benefits of the new plants. As a result, differences in perception regarding the environment, health and economic impacts, and benefits of the petrochemical plants were found across the cohort.
