Opportunity, Diversity, and the New American City: A Program of Research in Interethnic Attitudes, Residential Segregation, and Labor Market Discrimination

这是一项关于种族间态度、居住隔离和劳动力市场歧视的研究。 它将分析1993-1994年洛杉矶城市不平等调查收集的数据，该调查的目的是明确地将种族间的态度和信仰与劳动力市场的结果和种族居住隔离的过程联系起来。 该调查涉及洛杉矶县非西班牙裔白色（N = 863）、非洲裔美国人（N = 1119）、拉丁裔美国人（N = 988）和亚裔美国人（N = 1055）成年人群的大样本。 调查的实质性核心有三个方面：（1）详细描述个人的人力资本属性和劳动力市场行为;（2）绘制受访者的居住融合相关知识，意图和偏好;（3）了解种族间态度和信仰的一般模式。 将要进行的研究系统地借鉴了对族裔认同程度、族裔间陈规定型观念、对群体零和竞争的看法、对种族歧视和基于性别的歧视的个人和集体看法、对族裔间经济不平等的民间解释以及对扶持行动的看法的衡量标准。 这些措施将被用来映射的意义，自我理解和种族间的关系，为黑人，白色，亚洲和拉丁美洲居民的一个最种族多元化的城市的世界。 然后，研究将探讨这些观点如何影响和劳动力市场因素和种族居住隔离的影响。 %%% 本研究的科学目的是了解可能加强或减少城市种族不平等和相关种族间紧张关系的社会心理过程。 它将研究劳动力市场过程，种族居住隔离和种族间的态度，巩固现代种族不平等之间的相互联系的复杂系列。 这项研究的成功将有助于政策制定者了解持续城市贫困的原因，特别是非洲裔美国人，拉丁美洲人和亚裔美国人社区的部分经历。

This is a study of inter-ethnic attitudes, residential segregation, and labor market discrimination. It will analyze data collected by the 1993-1994 Los Angeles Survey of Urban Inequality, which was expressly designed to link inter-ethnic attitudes and beliefs to labor market outcomes and to processes of racial residential segregation. This survey involved large samples of the non-Hispanic white (N = 863), African American (N = 1119), Latino (N = 988) and Asian American (N = 1055) adult populations of Los Angeles County. The substantive core of the survey was three-fold: (1) development of a detailed portrait of the human capital attributes and labor market behaviors of individuals; (2) mapping the residential integration relevant knowledge, intentions, and preferences of respondents; and (3) understanding general patterns of inter-ethnic attitudes and beliefs. The research to be done draws systematically on measures of the degree of ethnic identity, inter-ethnic stereotypes, perceptions of group zero-sum competition, personal and collective perceptions of racial and gender-based discrimination, folk explanations of inter-ethnic economic inequality, and views on affirmative action. These measures will be used to map the meanings that characterize self-understanding and inter-ethnic relations for the black, white, Asian, and Latino residents of one of the most ethnically diverse cities of the world. Then the research will explore how these views affect and are affected by labor market factors and racial residential segregation. %%% The scientific aim of this research is to understand the social psychological processes that may reinforce or reduce urban ethnic inequality and the associated inter-ethnic tensions. It will examine the complex series of interconnections among labor market processes, racial residential segregation, and inter-ethnic attitudes that undergird modern ethnic inequality. Success in this research will help policy makers understand the causes of persistent urban po verty, especially as experienced by segments of the African American, Latino, and Asian American communities.
