One deduction from Louis Wirth's theories on the psychological effects of city life is that urbanism directly leads to more ethnic tolerance and universalistic attitudes. This hypothesis was tested by examining five national polls (N = 7,714) which asked respondents if they would vote for minority-group presidential candidates. The data show that tolerance does increase with size of community. However, as successive controls are added, the relationship approaches zero. The results are interpreted as not supporting the hypothesis and explanations for the nonsupport are explored.
