Abstract

AbstractEnhancing the quality of community life has become an increasingly important consideration in the area of community development. The relationship between the social life of residents and satisfaction with the community, however, has been the subject of much debate because of the multifaceted nature of social interactions. This paper, using path analytic techniques, examines the influence of the perceived availability of similar others and the frequency of social interactions on women’s satisfaction with the community. It is hypothesized that perceived availability of similar others has a stronger relationship to community satisfaction than does frequency of interactions. The hypothesis is supported. The results also indicate that the availability of similar others specifies the relationship of the family life cycle to community satisfaction.
