Abstract
An examination & comparison of two global measures of perceived neighborhood quality: satisfaction & attachment. In doing this, the general satisfaction model is expanded by developing & testing a model of perceived neighborhood quality which is appropriate to both of these summary measures. Based on analysis of data from the 1975 U of Michigan quality of life survey, in which 1,194 Detroit, Mich, residents were interviewed, it is demonstrated that satisfaction & attachment are each affected by social interaction in the neighborhood & that each can be distinguished by how strongly it taps the cognitive & affective components of well-being. Also demonstrated is the differential impact of general & local SS variables on each of the global measures as well as the impact of perceived homogeneity. 6 Tables, 3 Figures, 29 References. HA
