我们以社会组织理论的最新发展为基础，研究墨西哥男性在新移民目的地地区的性伴侣情况。我们详细阐述了两个层面的情境影响：1）输出社区和接收社区之间的社会资本差异如何影响伴侣的形成；2）邻里社会凝聚力如何影响移民的行为。数据来自在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆和墨西哥移民输出社区进行的一项原始调查。我们发现墨西哥和美国之间的性伴侣存在巨大差异，这与缺乏社交网络和家庭支持直接相关。社区层面的社会凝聚力在一定程度上抵消了这些影响。然而，社会资本和社区的作用是高度性别化的。妇女的存在是移民社区社会组织的一个重要方面，其影响超出了单纯的伴侣可用性。
We build on recent developments in social organization theory to examine the sexual partnering of Mexican men in a new area of immigrant destination. We elaborate on two levels of contextual influence: 1) how differences in social capital between sending and receiving communities affect partner formation and 2) how neighborhood social cohesion influences immigrants’ behavior. Data come from an original survey conducted in Durham, NC and migrant sending communities in Mexico. We show dramatic differences in sexual partnering between Mexico and the U.S. that are directly linked to lack of social networks and familial support. Neighborhood level social cohesion in part counteracts those effects. The role of social capital and neighborhoods, however, is highly gendered. The presence of women is a critical dimension of the social organization of immigrant communities and its effect extends beyond mere partner availability.
