使用1995年社区、犯罪和健康调查的数据，伊利诺伊州2482名年龄在18岁到92岁之间的成年人的代表性样本(以及受访者人口普查区域的关联数据)，我们发现城市居住与感觉到的无能为力有关。然而，大部分影响是由于居住在城市中的人的社会人口特征造成的。然而，即使我们根据社会人口特征进行了调整，城市居住对主观无能为力的影响仍然很小。居住在城市和高贫困社区的人报告更多的社区无序，这种无序而不是城市或每sc的社区贫困，会影响感知到的无能为力，这一剩余效应可以通过邻里无序的经历来解释。报告说生活在混乱的社区的人感觉到PO无能为力的程度要高得多，这在很小程度上是因为他们缺乏与邻居的社会联系。
Using data from the 1995 survey of Community, Crime and Health, a representative sample of 2,482 adults in Illinois age 18 to 92 (with linked data on respondents' census tracts), we find that urban residence is associated with perceived powerlessness. Most of the effect, however is due to the sociodemographic characteristics of people living irt the city. Yet even when we adjust for sociodemographic characteristics, a small effect of urban residence on subjective powerlessness remains. This remaining effect is explained by the experience of disorder in one's neighborhood People who live in urban areas and high-poverty neighborhoods report more neighborhood disorder; this disorder not the city nor the neighborhood poverty per sc, affects perceived powerlessness. People who report living in a disordered neighborhood have significantly higher levels of perceived po powerlessness, bl small part because they lack social ties with neighbors.
