Description
Summary:	Eisikovits and Borman explore the linkage between identity and place, reflecting upon the extent to which people derive meaning from their situatedness in place. The project compared attitudes held by native Vermonters and Floridians from different age groups and a variety of urban/rural backgrounds towards newcomers to their states, and vice versa. Based on in-depth interviews, the study analyze reciprocal role of attribution processes used in the construction of future scenarios by natives and newcomers in these two contexts.
