Talk Title: People Use Both Heterogeneity and Minority Representation to Evaluate Diversity

Desciption: Though widely used, the term "diversity" can mean different things. Diversity can refer to heterogeneity, i.e., the distribution of people across groups, or to the representation of specific minority groups. We use a conjoint experiment with a race-stratified, national sample to uncover which properties––heterogeneity or minority representation––Americans use to evaluate how racially diverse a neighborhood is and whether this varies by respondents' race. We show that perceived diversity is strongly associated with heterogeneity. This association is stronger for Whites than for Blacks, Latinos, or Asians. In addition, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians view neighborhoods where their own group is largest as more diverse. Whites vary in their tendency to associate diversity with representation, and Whites who report conservative stances on diversity-related policy issues view predominantly White neighborhoods as more diverse than predominantly Black neighborhoods. People can agree that diversity is desirable while disagreeing on what makes a community diverse.
