Jang, Sung Joon and Alba, Richard D., "Urbanism and Nontraditional Opinion: A Test of Fischer's Subcultural Theory," Social Science Quarterly, 73 (September, 1992), 596-609.


Abstract:

While increasing urbanism is associated with high levels of nontraditional values on women, pornography, sexuality, and drug use, the highest level of unconventionality was found in suburbs. When controls are added, the original relationship weakens and becomes inconsistent. (See also Nos. 37, 3489)
