Though the adverse consequences of perceived housing discrimination have been documented, little is known about whether such experience undermines one's social capital in a neighborhood and even less is about whether and how this relationship is altered by neighborhood features. We proposed a framework that simultaneously considers within-individual and between-neighborhood processes. We applied multilevel structural equation models to data from Philadelphia (n = 9987) and found that (a) perceived housing discrimination was negatively associated with one's social capital even after other confounders were considered, (b) this negative association could be partly explained by the proliferated daily stress and anxiety mechanisms, (c) differential exposures to neighborhood social disadvantage accounted for the variation in social capital across neighborhoods, and (d) the adverse association between perceived housing discrimination and social capital could be attenuated by neighborhood stability. The findings suggested that appropriate interventions should buffer the negative association of perceived housing discrimination with social capital.
尽管感知到的住房歧视的不良后果已有文献记载，但对于这种经历是否会削弱一个人在邻里间的社会资本却知之甚少，而对于这种关系是否以及如何因邻里特征而改变则更是所知甚少。我们提出了一个同时考虑个体内部和邻里间过程的框架。我们将多层次结构方程模型应用于来自费城的数据（n = 9987），发现：（a）即使在考虑了其他混杂因素之后，感知到的住房歧视与一个人的社会资本仍呈负相关；（b）这种负相关可以部分地由日益增加的日常压力和焦虑机制来解释；（c）邻里社会劣势的不同暴露程度解释了邻里间社会资本的差异；（d）感知到的住房歧视与社会资本之间的不利关联可以通过邻里稳定性来减弱。研究结果表明，适当的干预措施应缓冲感知到的住房歧视与社会资本之间的负相关。
