Description
ABSTRACT/RESUME A review of recent research suggests that ethnic heterogeneity negatively influences attitudes and behaviours necessary for community cohesion. Using data drawn from the 2000 Equality Security Community Survey, we test the applicability of these findings to the Canadian context. Our results suggest that individual ethnocultural diversity characteristics do not appreciably affect scores on standard social capital measures but that broad designations of ethnicity such as visible minority and immigrant status do, however weakly. Larger community size is a consistent predictor of lower interpersonal trust, lower propensity to join organizations, and less time spent with friends. We speculate that in Canada, where community size, diversity, wealth, and education are so closely and positively correlated, an urban lifestyle, or city effect, may be a more accurate predictor of civic attitudes and behaviours.
