Community in Context
To what extent does community context shape individuals' experience of community? This study replicates and extends Flaherty and Brown's multilevel application of Kasarda and Janowitz’ systemic model using four separate multilevel datasets and multiple measures of community experience. The results reaffirm Flaherty and Brown's findings and support the systemic model by showing that community attachment varies little across communities and is prim…
Cultural Antecedents to Community
To what extent does community experience differ between low context and high context societies? Prior literature theorizes that community experience consists of two separate, yet highly related concepts: community attachment , an individual's general rootedness to a place, and community satisfaction , how well an individual's community meets their societal needs. We test this conceptualization of community experience across communities in the US …
From mass consumer society to a society of consumers
Many scholars argue that consumption of goods and services has eclipsed the local community as the locus of contact between the individual and society. Residents of two Mississippi Delta communities, in 1996 and again in 2007, were asked how often they shopped for consumable items outside of their communities. Logistic regression demonstrates a significant interaction effect between year and outshopping such that outshopping was positively associ…
A Reply to Theodori, Luloff, Brennan, and Bridger
Theodori et al. (2016) take issue with our presentation of the interactional field theory of community, asserting that, according to interactional field theory, (1) community does not equate with community field; (2) community does not emerge out of the community‐oriented actions of individuals; as well as making various other charges. In our reply, we refute their points, and demonstrate how Theodori et al., themselves, often provide the best ev…
Making Sense of Community Action and Voluntary Participation-A Multilevel Test of Multilevel Hypotheses
To what extent does community context influence individuals' proclivity to participate in community-oriented activities and projects? In this article we utilize survey data from residents of 99 Iowa communities to conduct a multilevel analysis of voluntary participation and community action, simultaneously addressing voluntary participation at the individual level and 'community action' at the community level. Additionally, we test the suggestion…
Olympic Boomtown
We extend the research on the individual and community-level impacts of rapid growth development (boomtowns) to include communities that have been affected by a short-term, yet large-scale “mega-event”—the Olympics. Testing the assumption of generic similarities of social impacts between these two types of communities, we examined longitudinal survey data from six survey years (between 1999 through 2003, and 2007), gathered in Utah's Heber Valley…
Revisiting the Sense of Community Index
The Sense of Community Index (SCI) has been the most widely used measure of Psychological Sense of Community (PSC), despite abundant evidence it does not adequately measure its intended dimensions. Alternative model specifications are rarely tested beyond their initial appearance in the literature, and the use of the SCI as a 1‐dimensional scale has been promoted without testing for invariance across groups. We use a sample of students from a sma…
A Multilevel Systemic Model of Community Attachment
To what extent does community context affect individuals' social ties and levels of community attachment? The authors replicate Sampson's multilevel version of Kasarda and Janowitz's systemic model of community using data from a survey of nearly 10,000 people residing in 99 small Iowa communities. They improve on Sampson's work by using multilevel statistical tools, better measurement of community attachment, and data from 99 actual communities. …
