Zusammenfassung:This paper offers two sets of analogous hypotheses concerning the effects of city size and region upon people's tolerance. Data are examined from national surveys focusing upon diverse indicators of tolerance, conducted between 1947 and 1982. The results suggest that the effects of city size--net of compositional variables--have declined. By contrast, the effects that can be uniquely attributed to region do not appear to have declined, and they almost always exceed the (unique) effects of city size.
