社区层面的社会资本评估通常基于个人对信任和互惠的总体看法。与此同时，个人的认知受到一系列个人属性的影响。本文研究了与个人社会资本感知系统相关的社会经济和人口属性，并确定了这些属性在多大程度上解释了社会资本的邻里差异。使用改进的多层次建模程序，我们确定了社会资本感知的差异可以归因于真正的社区水平变化的程度。该分析基于1994-95年芝加哥社区人类发展项目（PHDCN）的社区调查。回应措施是基于受访者的看法，他们的邻居是否可以信任。结果表明，即使在考虑了个人人口统计学（年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况）和社会经济特征（收入、教育）之后，个人感知的显著邻里差异仍然存在！信任，证实社会资本的概念是一个真正的语境结构。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.版权所有。
Assessment of social capital at the neighborhood level is often based on aggregating individual perceptions of trust and reciprocity. Individual perceptions, meanwhile, are influenced through a range of individual attributes. This paper examines the socioeconomic and demographic attributes that systematically correlate with individual perception of social capital and determines the extent to which such attributes account for neighborhood differences in social capital. Using improved multilevel modeling procedures, we ascertain the extent to which differences in social capital perception can be ascribed to true neighborhood-level variations. The analysis is based on the 1994-95 Community Survey of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). The response measure is based on survey respondent's perceptions of whether people in their neighborhood can be trusted. The results suggest that even after accounting for individual demographic (age, sex, race, marital status) and socioeconomic characteristics (income, education), significant neighborhood differences remain in individual perception!; of trust, substantiating the notion of social capital as a true contextual construct.
