Social Capital and Tolerance in Small U.S. Towns

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between social capital and perceptions of tolerance in small towns. Social capital theory would suggest potentially differing outcomes with regards to tolerance when social capital is disaggregated into bonding/bridging and structural/subjective. To examine this relationship, this study uses a unique data set comprised of ninety-nine small Iowa communities. Multiple regression is used to develop quantitative findings.
