利用对5196名少数民族和2867名白色受访者的社区调查数据，以及1991年人口普查中关于当地群体集中度的数据，对族裔群体集中度与报告的精神病症状水平较低相关的假设进行了检验。这一假设得到了广泛的证实，无论是组内还是组间差异。然而，研究发现，这种影响的规模不大，在一个群体中，巴基斯坦的样本，是相反的。这些发现与基于选择或漂移的解释不一致。语言因素有助于，但不能解释的影响。关于相互支持和相互支持的证据表明，社会因果关系，以减少直接偏见和增加社会支持的形式，是影响的可能原因。
Using data from a community survey of 5196 ethnic minority and 2867 white respondents, together with data on local group concentration from the 1991 Census, the hypothesis was tested that ethnic group concentration is associated with lower levels of reported psychiatric symptoms. The hypothesis was broadly confirmed, both for within- and between-group differences. However, the effect was found to be modest in size and in one group, the Pakistani sample, was reversed. The findings are inconsistent with an explanation based on selection or drift. Linguistic factors contributed to, but did not explain the effects. Evidence on victimisation and mutual support suggests that social causation, in the form of reduced exposure to direct prejudice and increased social support, is a likely cause of the effect.
