This is a terrible article. It’s subtle clickbait, seemingly designed too discourage constructive discussion while encouraging argumentation.
The choices are ambiguously worded to the point that one could project a spectrum of meanings to them. We know nothing about the sample other than that there are 1000 of them and they are parents. We don’t know where they live. We don’t know whether they’re employed and what their level of employment and financial circumstance is. We don’t know how old they are or how old their children are.
Finally they are asked what their greatest worry is and then they have to choose between three choices or assert that they have no worries at all.
At the same time the completely ambiguous results and ambiguous wording allow anyone who feels like arguing to project their own hopes and fears to the results.
