title = "Social Psychological Processes in Studies of Neighborhoods and Inequality",
abstract = "In this chapter, I review the role of social psychological processes in studies of neighborhoods and inequality. The review emphasizes studies leading up to and following from W. J. Wilson{\textquoteright}s seminal book The Truly Disadvantaged (1987). Three major topics are reviewed. First, I review early theories and empirical studies of the effects of urbanism and urban environments on individuals and social life. Second, I review studies of “neighborhood effects,” including both long-term development effects and more immediate effects on crime and mental health. Third, I review studies of social psychological processes that influence neighborhood formation and racial segregation, including studies of preferences for race-of-neighbors and studies of neighborhood stereotyping.",
