最近的一篇文章[Vinkovic D，Kirman A（2006）Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103：19261-19265]表明谢林模型具有物理类似物，这扩展了我们对该模型的理解。然而，先前的研究已经概述了谢林模型的数学基础，并且基于它的模拟已经增强了我们对该模型背后的社会动力学的理解，这是物理模拟无法解决的问题。社会科学的研究提供了一个正式的基础，隔离的结果，从住宅选择过程和模拟复制相关的空间结果下不同规格的住宅动态。新的和越来越详细的调查数据的偏好表明嵌入的谢林选择过程中的社会行为选择替代住宅组成。它还表明，在多元文化的背景下，看似温和的偏好与类似的邻居生活进行自己的种族选择性和居住隔离的强大的决定因素的潜力。
A recent article [Vinkovic D, Kirman A (2006) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103:19261-19265] showing that the Schelling model has a physical analogue extends our understanding of the model. However, prior research has already outlined a mathematical basis for the Schelling model and simulations based on it have already enhanced our understanding of the social dynamics that underlie the model, something that the physical analogue does not address. Research in social science has provided a formal basis for the segregative outcomes resulting from the residential selection process and simulations have replicated relevant spatial outcomes under different specifications of the residential dynamics. New and increasingly detailed survey data on preferences demonstrates the embeddedness of the Schelling selection process in the social behaviors of choosing alternative residential compositions. It also demonstrates that, in the multicultural context, seemingly mild preferences for living with similar neighbors carry the potential to be strong determinants for own race selectivity and residential segregation.
