Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper explores the individual-level and contextual-level sources of support for family caps and time limits leading up to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 among both white and black Americans. The data used is the 1996 American National Election Study and the 1990 U.S. Census. The study finds that white opinions toward welfare reform are largely dominated by racial prejudice, anti-black attitudes, and abstract values. Black American opinions concerning welfare reform are dominated instead by characteristics of their environment including the proportion of public assistance recipient and black American families in their county that they live in. The study hypothesizes that these differences are due to social network influences. White Americans can afford to have their opinions governed by abstract prejudices and values because they are relatively unlikely to actually know any welfare recipients. Black Americans do not have this luxury but must instead contend with the consequences of welfare reform for people they actually know.
