<p>We did not have space for all 18 items in Buckner’s paper, but given he suggests the measures load on three dimensions, we took a sub set of 8 which loaded most strongly on these.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Dear Stephanie</p>
<p>Thank you for that. Could you give me some more information on the methods used to select the eight items or possibly refer me to a paper or guidance document?</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>

<ul></ul><p>Dear Natalie,</p>
<p>Here is a response from the team involved in this part of the questionnaire:<br />These questions were chosen over 20 years ago as part of the BHPS and have been carried forward in Understanding Society. We have learned that a subset which represented all three components (Attraction to neighbourhood, Neighbouring, Psychological sense of community) and had the strongest overall correlation with the principal factor as shown in the paper were chosen.</p>
<p>The paper is available here: <a class="external" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224850771_The_Development_Of_An_Instrument_To_Measure_Neighborhood_Cohesion">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224850771_The_Development_Of_An_Instrument_To_Measure_Neighborhood_Cohesion</a></p>

<ul></ul><p>Hello Natalie,</p>
<p>For a research project I am working on with co-authors from UEA, we looked at this module of questions in Understanding Society and conducted a factor analysis. Two factors emerged:<br />(i) Scopngbha, Scopngbhf, Scopngbhg <br />(ii) Scopngbhb, Scopngbhc, Scopngbhd, Scopngbhh</p>
<p>These factors are similar to the ones that Fone et al identified using the 15 item Buckner scale. Fone, D.L., Farewell, D.M., Dunstan, F.D. (2006) “An ecometric analysis of neighbourhood cohesion” Population Health Metrics, 4:17</p>
<p>Hope this helps,<br />Alita</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #990: Neighbourhood Social Cohesion Measurehttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/990?journal_id=39462018-10-12T13:32:10ZStephanie Autys.auty@essex.ac.uk
