CSA Sociological Abstracts abstracts and indexes the international literature in sociology and related disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. The database provides abstracts of journal articles and citations to book reviews drawn from over 1,800+ serials publications, and also provides abstracts of books, book chapters, dissertations, and conference papers. Records published by Sociological Abstracts in print during the database's first 11 years, 1952-1962, have been added to the database as of November 2005, extending the depth of the backfile of this authoritative resource.
Many records from key journals in sociology, added to the database since 2002, also include the references cited in the bibliography of the source article. Each individual reference may also have links to an abstract and/or to other papers that cite that reference; these links increase the possibility of finding more potentially relevant articles. These references are linked both within Sociological Abstracts and across other social science databases available on CSA Illumina. For further information on this valuable feature, please see Cited Reference Linking.

Title
Perceptions of Social Distance in an Ethnically Fluid Community
Using a revised version of Bogardus' social distance scale, this research examines social distance toward other ethnic groups & races from the perspectives of Latinos, African Americans, & whites residing in an increasingly suburban NC county. Analyses indicate that blacks & whites report closer social distance to each other than to any other racial or ethnic group. Blacks express greater social distance toward Mexicans than do whites. Mexicans report greater social distance toward African Americans than toward whites. Willingness to marry members of other racial & ethnic groups mirror these same patterns. 5 Tables, 26 References.
