背景资料：建议下降的趋势，在美国人之间的社会资本可能是由于，在一定程度上，长通勤时间与城市spray.Methods：在2007年，2001年全国家庭旅行调查（NHTS）被用来确定通勤时间和社会导向的行程，社会资本的代理措施之间的关联，同时控制个人层面和区域层面的特点。社交旅行是指：参加学校/宗教活动;参加社交/娱乐活动;拜访朋友/亲戚;外出娱乐;参加葬礼/婚礼/社交活动;锻炼/体育运动;履行家庭/个人义务;参加组织会议;或运送某人。结果：通勤时间长（> 20分钟）与无社会性出行显著相关（校正OR = 1.17，95%CI = 1.09 - 1.25），通勤时间长（>20分钟）与无社会性出行显著相关（校正OR=1.17，95%CI =1.09-1.25）。最强的关联是90+分钟的通勤者（调整OR= 1.50，95%CI = 1.16-1.94）。结论：这项研究表明，个人与较长的通勤有较少的社会资本，所示的社会导向的旅行。
Background: The suggested declining trend in social capital among Americans could be due, in part, to long commute times associated with urban sprawl.Methods: In 2007, the 2001 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) was used to determine the association between commute time and socially-oriented trips, a proxy measure of social capital, while controlling for individual-level and regional-level characteristics. Socially-oriented trips were those taken to: attend school/religious activities; attend social/recreational activities; visit friends/relatives; go out for entertainment; attend funerals/weddings/social events; exercise/play sports; attend to family/personal obligations; participate in organizational meetings; or transport someone. Odds ratios and 95% CIs were calculated for the association between commute time and socially-oriented trips for full-time working adults (N=54,747).Results: Higher commute time (>20 minutes) was significantly associated with no socially-oriented trips (adjusted OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.09-1.25). The strongest association was among 90+ minute commuters (adjusted OR= 1.50, 95% CI= 1.16-1.94).Conclusions: This study suggests that individuals with longer commutes have less access to social capital, as indicated by fewer socially-oriented trips.
