Your empirical doesn't match my own. I'm not calling your link untrue, just incomplete. If you want to visit my hometown and give it a test, I'm more than happy to guide you. But I also realize my experiences may have been rather different than those in other cities. It doesn't make either of us wrong.

Did you post the correct study? This paper seems more about mental state than any race/gender type research. e.g. "In particular, this study aimed to explore how the participants’ pre-existing levels of non-clinical depression, anxiety, persecutory feelings and personal resilience influence the in situ judgments they make about the contrasting urban environments."

  Did you read any of the study? It's about the respective mental states of walking through good and bad neighborhoods. Very poor reading comprehension from the posters in this thread. "Forty-six student participants walked in groups through 2 urban neighbourhoods, separated by a park, in the North West of England, noting responses at pre-determined stops. Significant differences existed in participants’ sense of trust and threat between the 2 neighbourhoods along with differences in perceived resident wealth and sentiments expressed"

46 students put into 2 unfamiliar neighborhoods in the UK with various a level of affluence, and "surprisingly" people feel more positive about more affluent area. This says nothing about how residents feel or how different from their own neighborhoods they were for the students. Put me in an unfamiliar area and I'll prefer it to be affluent too, even when I was quite low on the socioeconomic ladder.

  Geez... Go walk around Fuller Park and tell me you're comfortable. Ask residents of Fuller Park if they're comfortable strolling around and ruminating.
