使用纵向数据从一个全国性的代表性样本的母亲，我们指定的条件下，邻里环境形状的经验掌握。在这样做的时候，我们扩展了其他人的工作，他们已经表明，邻里观念影响一种个人控制感，超过社会人口统计学和客观邻里特征的影响。具体来说，我们证明了通过婚姻状况，家庭收入，身体健康和生活在一个较高收入的社区，母亲掌握的好处被稀释的邻里混乱的看法。这些研究结果表明，在试图将社会结构的客观组成部分与个人和家庭层面的结果联系起来时，包括近端经验的措施是重要的。我们的分析进一步支持了社会结构和人格框架对这些近距离机制的强调，表明不考虑负面的社区观念抑制了中心城市、居住地和种族对母亲个人控制感的重大影响。
Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of mothers, we specify the conditions under which the neighborhood context shapes the experience of mastery. In so doing, we extend the work of others who have shown that neighborhood perceptions influence one sense of personal control over and above the effects of sociodemographic and objective neighborhood characteristics. Specifically, we demonstrate that the benefits to mastery generally afforded to mothers through marital status, household income, physical health, and living in a higher-income neighborhood are diluted by perceptions of neighborhood disorder. These findings suggest the importance of including measures of proximal experiences when attempting to link objective components of social structure with individual and family-level outcomes. Providing further support for the emphasis placed on these proximate mechanisms by the social structure and personality framework, our analyses indicate that failing to consider negative community perceptions suppresses the significant impact that central city, residence and race have on mothers' sense of personal control.
