Only a fifth of respondents had no overarching life outlook at all

Evidence

Notice first that about 20% of each sample said they did not have a “basic, most important outlook.” (I understand that better among the students than among the parents.) Second, you will see that the most common outlook was personal, developed by about 35% of the respondents by themselves, and by a few others with friends. Next came religion, more commonly important among parents than students. And after that it really falls off. If feminists and environmentalists were each their own species, needing others of their kind to reproduce, they would be endangered. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2778
