危险废物和核废物储存库的支持者给反对者贴上了“邻避”（不在我的后院）的标签。本研究评估了邻避标签和行业支持者在合理假设下减少反对功能的策略。使用调查数据和多元回归技术，居民的关注水平，选择作为低水平放射性废物处置设施（迫在眉睫的威胁条件）的网站县与全州范围内的样本（假设的威胁条件）进行比较。与支持者的理论假设一致，在迫在眉睫的威胁条件下，受访者的关注程度高于假设威胁。然而，在东道县内，距离拟议地点最近的社区的担忧程度最低，尽管两极分化最严重。冲突理论的方法，提高了对这些研究结果的理解，建议在最接近的社区水平的关注是最低的公民谁站在针最经济利益的设施，但最高的那些公民谁是最不可能获得切实的收益。
Proponents of hazardous and nuclear waste depositories label opponents to local siting of such facilities ''NIMBYs' (Not In My Backyard). This study assesses the extent to which the NIMBY label and the strategies of industry proponents to reduce opposition function on a reasonable set of assumptions. Using survey data and multiple regression techniques, the levels of concern of residents living in the county selected as the site of a low level radioactive waste disposal facility (imminent threat condition) are compared with a statewide sample (hypothetical threat condition). Consistent with proponents' theoretical assumptions, the levels of concern are greater for respondents under conditions of imminent threat than of hypothetical threat. However, within the host county, levels of concern are lowest, albeit most polarized, in the community closest to the proposed site. A conflict theory approach enhances an understanding of these findings by suggesting that within the most proximate community levels of concern are lowest for citizens who stand to pin the most economic benefits from the facility but highest for those citizens who are least likely to derive tangible gains.
