基于演绎过程，开发了几个客观项目来衡量人们对他们居住的城市的社区感。项目分析产生了17个项目的量表，然后通过电话采访阿拉巴马州和南卡罗来纳州的随机样本对三项研究的同质性和外部效度进行了评估。在测试的七个假设中，有六个得到了支持。结果表明，该量表具有内部可靠性和单维度的特点，并且在人口统计、住房拥有率和公民贡献等方面存在差异。与预测相反，这一规模与人们在所在城市生活的时间无关。对此提出了解释，并得出了关于该量表的潜在用处的结论。
Based on a deductive process, several objective items were developed to measure people's sense of community with their city of residence. An item analysis produced a 17‐item scale, which was then evaluated for homogeneity and external validity in three studies using telephone interviews on random samples in Alabama and South Carolina. Of seven hypotheses that were tested, six received support. Results described the scale as internally reliable and unidimensional, and the scale differentiated between people who differed in terms of demographics, home ownership, and civic contributions. Contrary to prediction, the scale did not relate to how long people had lived in their city. Explanations for this were offered and then conclusions were drawn about the potential usefulness of the scale.
