ABSTRACT Adding to a growing body of work on the psychology of neighborhood choice, the present research examined middle class black attitudes regarding owning homes in majority white and majority black communities. The principal source consisted of interviews with 35 black middle class homeowners which were subjected to narrative analysis to identify (i) whether and to what extent participants identified with the county in which they lived; (ii) features of their perceived experience responsible for any such identification; and (iii) any attitudes about living in predominately white and predominately black counties that acted as limits to identification. Although homeowners from each county (majority white and majority black) typically favored the county in which they lived, results point to complex motivations that were influenced by negative racial experiences, conceptually different understandings about the value of diversity, and other factors.

种族多样性还是文化安全？：利用社会认同来理解中产阶级非裔美国人对种族隔离社区的选择

摘要 除了越来越多的关于邻里选择心理学的工作之外，本研究还考察了中产阶级黑人对在占多数的白人和占多数的黑人社区拥有房屋的态度。主要来源包括对 35 名黑人中产阶级房主的访谈，这些房主经过叙事分析以确定 (i) 参与者是否以及在多大程度上认同他们所居住的县；(ii) 导致任何此类识别的他们感知经验的特征；(iii) 对居住在以白人为主和以黑人为主的县的任何态度，这些都限制了身份识别。尽管每个县的房主（白人占多数，黑人占多数）通常都偏爱他们居住的县，
