Perceptions of Race Relations in Contexts of Ethnic Diversity and Change
Examining public opinion data from a 2007 survey of Los Angeles, the authors consider racial and ethnic variation in perceptions of race relations across neighborhoods in various contexts of demographic composition and change. Using several measures of ethnic diversity, the authors examine whether racial attitudes differ depending on the demographic mix at the census tract level, and if the relative importance of ethnicity and other individual ch…
Occupational Mobility and Trust: Reconsidering Mobility Effects
This paper hypothesizes that a hierarchy of types of mobility and immobility may be used as an interaction term to determine whether there is evidence of mobility effects beyond those contributed by origin and destination. The dependent variable is a trust scale constructed from responses to three questions that have repeatedly appeared on the General Social Survey. The analysis of data from the GSS, 1972–1994, reveals that some categories of the…
Interests, Values and Democracy: Tocqueville and Weber
A renewed scholarly interest in the social foundations of democratic societies provides an opportunity to examine complementary lines of analysis in the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville and Max Weber. Comparative studies of their reflections typically rely upon a detailed consideration of Tocqueville's Democracy in America and Weber's writings on the sociology of religion. This strategy has provided a basis for concluding that Tocqueville develo…

This article attempts to delineate the interplay of social, economic, and political conditions related to support for secession by examining the results of a Los Angeles Times survey conducted one week prior to the vote. Because an exi…

The Concept of Competition in Robert Park's Sociology
This article examines Robert Park's concept of competition and the way in which it appears in his analysis of civilization and social change. Conventional interpretations of his writings have tended to emphasize that he radically separated presocial, ecological processes from interaction based on communication. Although Park does attempt such a separation, I argue that his thoughts on social change reflect an ambivalence about the relative degree…
