Title |
Ethnic Relations in Rental Housing: A Social Psychological Approach
|
Abstract |
The authors conducted interviews with a random sample of 59 French Quebec landlords within a section of Montreal to explore the social psychological bases for discrimination in rental housing. Evidence that Social Identity factors related to the overwhelming preference for in-group tenants was obtained. When landlords were asked to focus on four out-groups (Haitians, Italians, Asiatics, and English Quebecers), factors subsumed under Realistic Conflict theory also contributed strongly to the variation in willingness to rent to some out-groups as opposed to others. Overall, the authors conclude that the results suggest a dissociation model where Social Identity and Realistic Conflict factors operate independently and additively in relations with out-group tenants.
